Grounds for Adultery Divorce in Virginia
In Virginia, adultery is defined as an extramarital sexual encounter. This adultery must be proven by both “clear and convincing” evidence as well as “corroboration.” Evidence that can prove adultery include emails and text messages of the spouse having the affair, but evidence of the adultery must be clearly recognized. Romantic verbiage can help support a case, but the evidence of adultery that is presented must explicitly indicate that sexual relations occurred outside of the marriage.
Corroboration, or an outside party indicating proof of adultery, is an additional requirement in Virginia. This means that someone else must have witnessed the adultery. Graham Law Firm, PLLC attorneys are well-equipped to handle your adultery divorce, complete with years of experience in the nuances of Virginia family law.

Virginia’s Adultery Divorce Laws
In the commonwealth of Virginia, adultery is a fault ground for divorce. This means that you don’t have to wait to file for divorce once you discover that a spouse has cheated. Unlike with most divorces, where the couple must be separated for at least six months before they can seek a divorce, adultery divorce allows for divorce filing immediately. But, in Virginia, there is no guarantee that the cheating spouse cannot sue for their portion of the marital pension, so you need an attorney you trust representing your interests.
Because of the fault ground standing of adultery in Virginia, spousal support and equitable distribution can be affected. The spouse who committed adultery can be barred from ever receiving spousal support. This is why it is crucial to have an experienced Graham Law Firm, PLLC attorney by your side for adultery divorce filing.
Don’t try and navigate the complex laws of divorce by yourself. Allow the professionals at Graham Law Firm, PLLC to help. Call (703) 443-9360 or contact us online for a consultation from one of our divorce attorneys.
