What a Flat Fee Uncontested Divorce Means in Manassas
An uncontested divorce in Virginia is a no-fault dissolution where both spouses agree on every issue—grounds for divorce, division of marital property, spousal support, and if applicable, child custody and support. When all terms are resolved, the divorce can be granted without a trial. The flat fee model means you pay one predetermined amount for the attorney’s services, covering preparation of the complaint, the separation agreement (if not already drafted), and representation at the final hearing. This gives you cost certainty and aligns with the collaborative nature of an amicable separation.
In Manassas, family law matters are heard in the Prince William County Circuit Court, located at 9311 Lee Avenue, Suite 230. For couples with no minor children who have been separated for at least six months and have a signed separation agreement, the no-fault ground under Va. Code § 20-91(9)(b) is typically the fastest route. If you have minor children, you must be separated for one year. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel ensure that all jurisdictional requirements—including Virginia’s six-month residency requirement—are met before filing, and they prepare the corroborating witness testimony required at the final hearing.
The Circuit Court filing fee for a divorce complaint in Manassas (Prince William County) is approximately $86.

How Mr. Sris and His Of Counsel Handle Flat Fee Uncontested Divorces
When you engage the firm for a flat fee uncontested divorce, Mr. Sris or an Of Counsel attorney first reviews your separation agreement to confirm it addresses all marital assets, debts, support, and child-related matters in compliance with Virginia law. If you have not yet drafted an agreement, the firm can prepare one that meets the requirements for an uncontested filing. The goal is to present a complete, agreed-upon package to the court so the final hearing is a brief formality.
The process begins with filing a Complaint for Divorce in the Prince William County Circuit Court. Once filed, the required separation period must already have run, or the filing must be timed to coincide with its expiration. At the final hearing—often scheduled within a few weeks after the separation period elapses—the attorney appears with you and your corroborating witness, who confirms the separation and residency facts under oath. The judge then reviews the agreement and, if everything is in order, enters the final decree of divorce. The flat fee covers all legal work through entry of the decree, so you know the total cost from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flat fee uncontested divorce in Virginia?
A flat fee uncontested divorce is a divorce where both spouses agree on all terms and the attorney charges one fixed price for the entire case. In Virginia, it applies when you satisfy the no-fault separation period (six months with no minor children and a signed separation agreement, or one year otherwise) and have resolved all issues. The attorney handles the drafting, filing, and final hearing for a predetermined fee, giving you financial predictability. The court still requires a corroborating witness and a final decree.
How much does an uncontested divorce cost in Manassas?
The attorney’s fee for a flat fee uncontested divorce varies by firm, but Law Offices Of SRIS, P.C. Charges a single all-inclusive fee that covers legal representation through the final decree. In addition to the attorney’s fee, you will pay the Circuit Court filing fee of approximately $86 and any separate costs for process service or a notarized separation agreement. The flat fee model avoids hourly billing and surprises. For a personalized quote, contact the firm at (888) 437-7747.
How long does an uncontested divorce take in Manassas?
Once the statutory separation period has been met, an uncontested divorce can often be finalized within two to four months after filing, depending on the court’s calendar. The timeline starts when you file the complaint with the Prince William County Circuit Court. The final hearing is typically scheduled a few weeks later, provided all paperwork is in order and a corroborating witness is available. Complex property division or missing documents can extend the process.
Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce if we already agree on everything?
While Virginia law does not require an attorney, having legal representation ensures that your separation agreement is valid, the complaint is correctly drafted, and the hearing proceeds smoothly. Even amicable divorces involve important rights—equitable distribution of marital assets, spousal support waivers, and parenting plans—that can have long-term consequences. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel review your agreement to confirm it protects your interests.
What if we have children and want a flat fee uncontested divorce?
You can still use a flat fee uncontested divorce when you have minor children, provided you have been separated for at least one year and have a written agreement covering custody, visitation, and child support. The agreement must address the best interests of the child and comply with Virginia’s child support guidelines. The court will review the parenting plan and may ask questions during the final hearing. The flat fee covers the preparation of all child-related documents in addition to the divorce complaint.
What is the role of a corroborating witness in a Virginia uncontested divorce?
A corroborating witness testifies to confirm that you and your spouse lived separate and apart for the required period, that at least one party is a Virginia resident, and that no reconciliation occurred. This witness can be a friend, family member, or co-worker who has personal knowledge of your separation. The witness’s testimony is essential because Virginia law does not allow a divorce based solely on the parties’ own statements. The attorney will prepare the witness and present their testimony at the hearing.
