How the Uncontested Divorce Process Works:
- Kales & Kales, PLC drafts a Marital Settlement Agreement for you. A Marital Settlement Agreement, also known as a Property Settlement Agreement, is a written contract, spelling out your rights and settling issues such as child custody and visitation, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution of property, and debt allocation. Why is a Marital Settlement Agreement important? It tells the court your divorce is “uncontested.” With a signed Marital Settlement Agreement, the divorce process is usually fast, cheap, and easy.
- Once you and your spouse have signed the Marital Settlement Agreement, Kales & Kales, PLC will draft and file a Complaint for Divorce with the court on your behalf. A Complaint for Divorce is the document that starts the divorce process with the court. It contains the factual allegations and legal elements which, when proven, show the court you are eligible for a divorce. It includes the following information about you and your spouse:
- When and where you were married.
- Whether you have children together, and if so, their names and birthdates.
- Your ages and military statuses.
- An assertion that you or your spouse has lived in Virginia for at least the past six months.
- Your separation date and an assertion that you have been separated continuously for at least 6 months (if you have no minor children) or 1 year (if you have minor children).
- An assertion that your Marital Settlement Agreement settles all matters between you, and
- A request that you and your spouse be divorced.
- Kales & Kales, PLC sends the Complaint and an Acceptance of Service/Waiver of Notice form to your spouse for signature. An Acceptance of Service/Waiver of Notice form is a document which, with your spouse’s signature, allows your spouse to avoid being served with the Complaint by a sheriff. Additionally, it makes the need for your spouse to receive further notices about your uncontested divorce case unnecessary.
- When your spouse signs the waiver, you will complete and sign either a Deposition Upon Written Questions or a Divorce Affidavit. In either document, you will verify, in writing, the essential aspects of your case.
- Kales & Kales, PLC drafts and submits a Final Order of Divorce, along with an original copy of your Marital Settlement Agreement and your Affidavit or Deposition Answers, to the Fairfax County Circuit Court for a judge’s signature and the completion of your no contest divorce. Once the judge signs, you are divorced.
PLEASE NOTE ABOUT OUR FAIRFAX, VA UNCONTESTED DIVORCE PROGRAM:
- Kales & Kales, PLC cannot represent both parties to a divorce action, even if it is uncontested.

- Representation commences only with the entry of a Representation Agreement by a potential client and Kales & Kales PLC, the potential client’s completion of the Kales & Kales, PLC Intake Form, and the potential client’s payment of the deposit required by such Representation Agreement.

After years of separation my ex and I decided to move forward on a divorce. It was recommended to me that I use Kales & Kales and I could not be any happier with that decision. I was a little nervous about the idea of doing everything electronically as the divorce process seems so daunting. However, they offered me the opportunity to ever meet them should I feel the need. Ultimately, once the process started and I saw how easy it was going to be with Kales & Kales my nerves were calm and no in-person meetings was required. The number one priority is that their clients feel comfortable.
I'm pretty sure no one has divorce on their bucket list and both Jonathan and Amy are sensitive to that when handling what seems like endless amount of questions and timely responses. The whole process took about 3-4 months and a lot of that is based on how fast you and your partner can provide the required paperwork and come to an agreement.
Additionally, when people think of lawyers they think of money--Kales & Kales is highly affordable, you know exactly what you are walking into with no hidden fees. That takes a huge stressor out of an already stressful situation. Lastly, they are will be upfront with you if they feel that they are unable to handle your divorce and not waste your time stringing you long in the process.
As it was once recommended to me, I now can pass on my own recommendation. I don't wish divorce on anyone but should you be one of many who find themselves in that situation, Kales & Kales is hands the down the first place you should be calling.
Jonathan and Amy were great to work with in my divorce. Because I didn't have children, etc. I was able to use the $500 option for filing paperwork. They took the stress out of the whole situation because once I handed it to them all I needed to do was wait to sign paperwork and send it back and forth. It was a quick and easy process and every time I reached out to them with a question I got a response almost immediately. I would recommend them to anyone.
Kales & Kales presided over my case with utmost professionalism over the past few months, providing me with ease-of-mind and clear concise instructions every step of the way. Kales & Kales were incredibly fair and straightforward, making the divorce experience as painless and as easy as possible. I would recommend them to anyone in the future!
