Strategy for an Affordable Uncontested Divorce
An uncontested divorce means you and your spouse agree on all key issues — property division, spousal support, and (when applicable) child custody. In Virginia, the simplest path is the no‑fault ground under Va. Code § 20‑91(9)(b): with a signed property settlement agreement and no minor children, courts require only a six‑month separation before finalizing the divorce. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel guide you through preparing a comprehensive separation agreement that resolves every issue up front, so the court process moves efficiently.
The team structures its services around predictable flat‑fee arrangements for uncontested divorces. Rather than billing by the hour, you know what the representation will cost from the start. That transparency makes a cheap uncontested divorce possible — you avoid unexpected legal bills while still receiving individual case review from an experienced Virginia family law practice.
For an uncontested divorce with no minor children and a signed separation agreement, Virginia law requires a six‑month separation period.

What To Expect During Your Uncontested Divorce
Once you and your spouse have reached agreement, the process typically follows a straightforward path. Mr. Sris or an Of Counsel attorney drafts the separation agreement and the divorce complaint. You file the complaint in the Fauquier County Circuit Court, located at 6 Court Street, Warrenton, Virginia. The court requires at least one corroborating witness to confirm the separation period, which your attorney helps coordinate. After the statutory separation period has been met, a brief final hearing is scheduled. In most uncontested cases, the judge grants the divorce based on the written agreement — there is no trial and no protracted litigation.
While the timeline varies with the court’s calendar, couples who already have a fully executed separation agreement often see their divorce finalized within a few months after filing. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel stay focused on keeping the matter streamlined, so you spend less time in court and more time moving forward.
Understanding Uncontested Divorce Costs
Virginia Circuit Courts charge a modest filing fee when you submit your divorce complaint. Additional out‑of‑pocket expenses — such as sheriff’s service of process — also apply. Because these amounts change periodically, Mr. Sris and his team will inform you of the current court costs before you file. The more significant expense is attorney fees; that’s why the firm offers flat‑fee pricing for straightforward uncontested cases. You receive full representation — from agreement drafting through the final decree — at a predetermined cost, with no surprise hourly charges. Every detail of the fee arrangement is explained during your initial consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes an uncontested divorce “cheap” in Fauquier County?
Costs stay low when both spouses agree on all terms and file under the no‑fault ground without minor children. When a full separation agreement is prepared in advance, the court process is streamlined, requiring only a short final hearing. Flat‑fee legal representation further controls costs because you avoid hourly billing while still receiving experienced guidance.
Do we really need a lawyer if we already agree on everything?
You are not required to hire a lawyer for an uncontested divorce, but an attorney helps ensure your agreement is legally sound and enforceable. A poorly drafted separation agreement can lead to future disputes over property, retirement accounts, or spousal support. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel review every asset and debt, draft clear language, and walk you through the filing steps at the Fauquier County Circuit Court.
How long must we be separated before filing in Fauquier County?
Couples with no minor children who sign a separation agreement can file after a six‑month separation. The separation must be continuous and with the intent to end the marriage. An experienced attorney can verify that your living arrangements meet Virginia’s requirements and help you present the necessary corroborating witness at the final hearing held in the Fauquier County Circuit Court.
Can we get a cheap uncontested divorce if we have minor children?
Yes, but the process requires a longer separation period and more detailed agreements covering custody and support. Virginia law requires a one‑year separation when minor children are involved. An uncontested divorce remains possible — and often less expensive than litigation — when both parents agree on parenting time, legal custody, and child support before filing.
What does a flat‑fee uncontested divorce cover in Fauquier County?
It typically includes drafting the separation agreement and the divorce complaint, preparing the necessary court forms, and representation at the final hearing. Court filing fees and service costs are separate. During your initial consultation, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel will explain exactly what the fee includes so there are no surprises.
