Ending a marriage is a significant life transition. At B. S. Johnson Law, we strive to make this process as smooth and cost-effective as possible. We specialize in non-adversarial solutions that allow parties to separate with their finances and dignity intact. By focusing on uncontested and cooperative divorce methods, we help you avoid the draining expense of prolonged litigation.

 Uncontested Divorce Options

An uncontested divorce is the most efficient way to dissolve a marriage in Virginia. It occurs when both parties agree on all issues, including asset division and debts. We offer tiered services based on your specific situation:

For couples who have lived separate and apart for a continuous period of one year, we handle all necessary filings to finalize the divorce quickly and correctly.

Uncontested Divorce With or Without Minor Children

When children are involved, the process requires extra care. If the parties agree on Custody, Visitation, and Support, we ensure these critical agreements are codified into the final decree, protecting the stability of the family unit without a court battle.

Uncontested Divorces (Separated 6 Months)

Virginia law allows for a faster timeline if you have no minor children and a signed separation agreement. If you meet these criteria, we can help you finalize your divorce in as little as six months.

Cooperative Divorce Solutions

Not every divorce fits a template, but that doesn't mean it has to be a fight.

Estate planning is not just for the wealthy; it is for anyone who wants to protect their family and their voice. Without a plan, the Commonwealth of Virginia determines what happens to your assets. We put the control back in your hands with transparent, flat-fee planning.
