VIRGINIA
1. What do we
need to get a divorce?
DIVORCE
Under Virginia Law, you have the right to represent yourself
in all legal cases, including divorce.
The legal term for representing yourself is
"pro se," pronounced "pro say") which is Latin for "on
your own behalf." Representing yourself is not a good idea for everyone.
It is important to understand that by representing yourself, you may be giving
up important rights. It is very important for you to find out if your spouse
has a pension, retirement account, insurance or other significant property
before you decide whether to file your own divorce. If you do not ask for such
things in the divorce, you will give them up forever.
