FAQ

West Virginia Divorce Overview In West Virginia, a divorce can be completed on average in a minimum of 360 days, with court fees of $135.00. The state has divorce residency requirements that require the spouse filing for the divorce to have lived in West Virginia for a minimum of twelve months.

While divorce laws vary by state, here are the basic steps: First, you must meet the residency requirements of the state in which you wish to file. Second, you must have grounds (a legally acceptable reason) to end your marriage. Third, you must file divorce papers and have copies sent to your spouse.

In some cases it can affect Custody allocation. In some cases it can affect marital versus separate property. But there is no separation requirement before divorce EXCEPT for divorces on One Year Separation.

Property Division in West Virginia When a couple divorces in West Virginia, the court will divide the marital property based on equitable distribution. Equitable division does not have to be equal, but the court must start by presuming that all the marital property will be split equally between the spouses.

In deciding whether to award alimony, the court does not consider the genders of the spouses, but does weigh 20 statutory factors, which include: The length of the marriage. The age and health of the parties. Each party's education level and ability to earn income.

West Virginia is NOT a community property state, which means that marital property is not automatically divided 50/50 between the spouses in a divorce case.Factors such as one spouse's economic misconduct may also be considered.

How long does a divorce take in West Virginia? Once the divorce paperwork has been filed in court, it usually takes 30 to 90 days for a divorce to be final. The start to finish time of the divorce may vary depending on the caseload of the court and the availability of judges to sign the final Decree of Divorce.

In West Virginia, any property that belonged to only one spouse before marriage is considered separate property, as is any gift or inheritance received by one spouse. Any property acquired or earned during the marriage is marital property, regardless of which spouse earned or acquired it.
