- One-year separation:

- Six months separation:

While most divorces are granted on “no-fault” grounds, the state of Virginia allows divorce actions to be pursued on the basis of “fault,” specifically:
- Adultery
- Physical and mental cruelty
- Desertion
- Incarceration for more than one year for conviction of a felony
Grounds for divorce other than “no-fault” grounds are extremely fact specific. A number of additional factors apply. We are happy to discuss those issues with you in detail.
