Court Filing & Document Retrieval in Virginia

Filing with the court — and getting certified copies back — is the step most people dread. SimpleDivorce e-files or counter-files your divorce paperwork and retrieves certified copies of your final decree so you don't have to visit the courthouse. In Virginia, most uncontested divorces finalize in roughly 1–3 months after filing, depending on the court.
