Your Flat Fee Uncontested Divorce in Virginia Beach
Your path to an uncontested divorce in Virginia Beach starts with two key prerequisites: at least six months of separation (no minor children) under Va. Code § 20-91(9)(b), and a fully executed separation agreement. Once those are in place, you are ready to move forward predictably. Working with a firm that handles uncontested matters on a flat fee means you avoid the anxiety of hourly billing and instead focus on the straightforward steps required by the Virginia Beach Circuit Court.
Our firm takes full responsibility for every stage: from drafting the complaint to filing it at 2425 Nimmo Parkway, Bldg 10B, Virginia Beach, VA 23456, through to the final decree. No surprises — you know your total legal cost from the beginning. We also handle the required corroborating witness arrangement so your hearing runs smoothly. If you have questions about the timeline or the documents, we are available at (888) 437-7747.
What to Expect at the Virginia Beach Courts
Virginia law gives the circuit courts exclusive jurisdiction over divorce (Va. Code § 20-96). In Virginia Beach, all divorce matters — including uncontested ones — are filed in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court. The process moves in a predictable sequence: we file your complaint, accompany you to the uncontested hearing, and present a corroborating witness. The judge reviews the separation agreement for fairness and confirms the statutory requirements have been met, then enters the final decree.
Because you and your spouse are in agreement and have no minor children, the timeline depends primarily on the court’s calendar. There is no drawn-out litigation. Our role is to make sure every document is correct, all pleading requirements are satisfied, and the day of your hearing passes without procedural obstacles. Throughout the case, you receive direct communication about what to expect and when.
The Value of a Flat Fee Approach
Choosing a flat fee uncontested divorce gives you cost certainty. You are not paying for every phone call or email, and you are not at risk of escalating litigation expenses. The fee covers everything from initial paperwork through to the final divorce decree. This arrangement works best for spouses who have already resolved property division, spousal support, and all other issues in a signed separation agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a flat fee uncontested divorce cover?
A flat fee uncontested divorce covers all legal work from initial filing through the final decree. In Virginia Beach, that includes preparing the complaint, filing at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court, arranging a corroborating witness, attending the uncontested hearing, and obtaining the signed divorce decree. It does not cover disputes that arise after the separation agreement is signed or issues that require separate court intervention. The flat fee arrangement means you know your total legal expense at the outset.
Do I need to appear in court for an uncontested divorce in Virginia Beach?
Yes, even in an uncontested divorce, Virginia law requires a brief court appearance. The Virginia Beach Circuit Court requires at least one party to appear and present a corroborating witness who can confirm the separation period. The hearing typically takes only a few minutes. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel attend with you, handle the procedural presentation, and ensure the judge has everything needed to enter the final decree.
How long does a flat fee uncontested divorce take in Virginia Beach?
The timeline from filing to final decree varies based on the court’s calendar and the completeness of your paperwork. Once the complaint is filed at the Virginia Beach Circuit Court, the court schedules an uncontested hearing. If all documents are in order and you have satisfied the six‑month separation requirement, the process can move forward smoothly. Because the court’s docket controls the timing, we work to present a clean file so your matter is not delayed.
What if we do not have a separation agreement yet?
An uncontested divorce under Va. Code § 20-91(9)(b) requires a signed separation agreement. If you have not yet drafted one, we can assist with preparing a comprehensive agreement that addresses property division, debts, and any spousal support. The flat fee for an uncontested divorce typically assumes the agreement is already executed, but we can discuss incorporating the agreement drafting into a separate arrangement. Call (888) 437-7747 to talk about your specific needs.
Can we still get an uncontested divorce if we have minor children?
Virginia’s six‑month separation ground for uncontested divorce applies only when there are no minor children of the marriage. If you have minor children, the no‑fault ground requires a one‑year separation under Va. Code § 20-91(9)(a). Even then, if you and your spouse are in full agreement on custody, visitation, and support, you may still pursue an uncontested divorce after the one‑year period. We can discuss your options during a consultation.
Do I need to live in Virginia Beach to file there?
You or your spouse must be a bona fide resident and domiciliary of Virginia for at least six months before filing, but not necessarily in Virginia Beach itself. The divorce is filed in the circuit court where either party resides. If you or your spouse lives in Virginia Beach, the Virginia Beach Circuit Court has jurisdiction. If neither party lives in the city, we can still handle your divorce from our Richmond Location. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel serve Virginia Beach residents and those with ties to the area.
What is the role of a corroborating witness?
A corroborating witness is required in Virginia to testify under oath about the separation period. The witness confirms that the parties have lived separate and apart for the statutorily required time. At Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C., we arrange for a corroborating witness as part of the flat fee service, so you do not need to find one yourself. This arrangement helps ensure your hearing proceeds without interruption.
How much does the filing fee cost?
The Virginia Beach Circuit Court charges a filing fee for a divorce complaint; the exact amount is available from the clerk’s office. Because filing fees change periodically, we recommend confirming the current amount when you file. Our flat fee covers our legal work; court costs are separate. Contact us at (888) 437-7747 and we can provide the most recent fee information based on our experience filing in the Virginia Beach Circuit Court.
Are there any hidden costs with a flat fee?
A flat fee arrangement means the legal work is covered at one price; the only additional expense is the court filing fee. Before you sign our engagement agreement, we explain exactly what the flat fee includes and what, if anything, falls outside the scope. For uncontested divorces where no disputes arise, the structure is straightforward. If unforeseen complications occur — such as a contested motion — we discuss costs separately before any additional work begins.
Can Mr. Sris represent both spouses?
No, as a matter of professional ethics, an attorney cannot represent both sides in a divorce. Our firm represents one spouse in the uncontested matter. If your spouse seeks independent legal advice, we can provide a list of other attorneys. Many uncontested divorces with a fully negotiated separation agreement proceed with one spouse represented and the other spouse acting pro se, but we always recommend that each party have the opportunity to consult independent counsel.
