Actual divorce litigation begins with one party filing a document called a Complaint for Divorce in Virginia, in the Circuit Court, usually in the county ( Fairfax / Arlington) or city ( Vienna va, Mclean ect..) where the party lives in Virginia or where the parties last lived together as husband and wife.

While the in court divorce process begins with filing an initial pleading, before filing for a divorce a party should do some pre-planning. First, it is useful to collect as many financial documents for about a five year time period as possible.
