Divorce Process
- Virginia divorce law can apply in two ways, namely – divorce from bed & board and divorce from the bond of matrimony.
- The first type of divorce from bed and board is partial divorce,
where the spouses live away from each other; however, none of them is permitted to marry anyone else.
- On the other hand, a divorce from the bond of matrimony is a kind of complete divorce.
