NOTICE TO ATTORNEYS ENGAGED IN DIVORCE PRACTICE IN
THIS COURT
For the year 2013, almost 11% of all divorce suits
filed in Virginia were filed in the Circuit Court
of the City of Norfolk. In many, if
not most, of these suits neither party lived in
the City of Norfolk. The judges of this
Court have therefore decided that all final
decrees of divorce shall henceforth include a
transfer provision pursuant to Code of
Virginia § 20-107.2(L) when there is a
separation agreement and neither party lives in
Norfolk when the final decree is presented.
If the parties live in different cities or
countires of Virginia when the final decree is
presented, you may select the city or county to
which the transfer is made.
Judge Martin gave a short presentation on
changes to divorce practice in the Circuit Court
of Norfolk effective July 2, 2012.
These subjects will be discussed:
