Going through an uncontested divorce? You’ll need to draft a marital settlement agreement — a legal document outlining your divorce terms — to ensure everything is handled smoothly.

Here’s how to get started:
✍️ Fill out basic details: Include names, separation date, and information about any children that were born or adopted during your marriage.
📄 Outline agreement sections: Customize your agreement to cover everything important to you and your spouse.
🏠 Divide assets and claims: Separate property, debts, and if applicable, agree on child support and custody.
🤝 Negotiate terms: If needed, create a partial agreement to keep things moving forward.
🔍 Get it reviewed: Have an experienced legal coach review your agreement before you sign.

When it comes to these steps — especially the last one — My Legal Case Coach can help. We've created easy-to-use templatized legal case forms so you don't have to draft your agreement from scratch. With your purchase, you'll get one (1) free hour of 1:1 coaching time with a licensed Virginia attorney to ensure everything is completed properly. You can also purchase blocks of additional coaching time if more guidance is needed.

Spousal support, or alimony, is often awarded when there is a significant income gap between the spouses. However, just because one spouse earns more does not automatically mean the other is entitled to spousal support payments.

The Court takes many different circumstances into consideration when determining whether alimony payments are warranted, and if it is, there may be limit on how long the higher-earning spouse must provide support.

If you’re filing for divorce in the Commonwealth of Virginia and have questions about whether you will be able to obtain a spousal support order in your divorce, contact My Legal Case Coach. During your free, 15-minute consultation, we'll walk through the specifics of your case and determine whether our legal coaching services are right for you.

For most parents, naming a legal guardian for their minor child is simply a precaution, in the unlikely event of their premature death or incapacity. However, there may come a time during your life where you need to give someone else legal authority over your child's care and well-being.⠀
⠀
Here are a few circumstances that may warrant you and your family to seek a legal guardian for your child outside of your home:

➡ You are unable to provide a safe and stable home environment for your child due to extenuating circumstances. “Extenuating circumstances” can vary greatly, but it comes down to you and your family deciding that your child would be better-cared for outside of your home.
➡ You live in a country experiencing political or civil unrest and feel your child will be safer with family members who live abroad. In Virginia, many legal guardianship cases involve a child from overseas coming to live with a U.S.-based relative.
➡ You are a single parent who is unable to take care of your child due to illness or incapacity. If your child’s other parent is not involved in their life, it is wise to preemptively have someone else assume legal responsibility for your child.
⠀
Need help with a legal guardianship case in Virginia? My Legal Case Coach offers comprehensive case form packets and 1:1 coaching services for both domestic and international cases. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation at buff.ly/3uN9sec to discuss your situation.

When you're in the middle of divorce, there may be some negative emotions between you and your spouse. You may treat co-parenting as a competition for who can "win" the kids' affection and be the "favorite" parent.

Instead, look at your current situation as a way to come together and offer the absolute best care for your children. Never try to pit your children against their other parent, and unless they are in danger, you should always respect the co-parenting arrangement you and your spouse have worked out.

Remember, when co-parenting is done right, it can provide children with two loving households and the support they need to flourish and grow.

If you're filing for divorce, there are a number of financial decisions you'll have to make with your soon-to-be-ex. In an uncontested divorce, your marital settlement agreement will need to include answers to the following applicable questions:

❓ How will we divide up our joint property?
❓ Who will be responsible for jointly-incurred debts over the course of our marriage?
❓ How will we file our taxes if our divorce isn't finalized before next tax season, and how will the sale of any joint assets impact our tax filings?
❓ What changes do we need to make to our retirement and estate plans?
❓ How can we both protect our credit scores and overall financial health through the divorce?

My Legal Case Coach is here to help you navigate these tricky questions and figure out the best way to split finances with your spouse. Visit mylegalcasecoach.com to learn more about how we help Virginia families represent themselves through a divorce and other family law matters.

Being the same-sex partner of a biological parent does not automatically grant parental rights over the child. This is why stepparent adoption matters for LGBTQ+ families: Because presumptive parental rights of a child are given to the birth mother, LGBTQ+ couples who are unmarried may need to pursue stepparent adoption so that both partners can have equal rights and decisions in their child’s life.

If you and your same-sex spouse are beginning the process of filing a step-parent adoption case in Virginia, My Legal Case Coach is here to help. Take our 30-second quiz to discover which of our case form packets is best for your circumstances: buff.ly/32seVHH

Even if you and your child’s parent are separating, you still want what is best for your child. One major aspect of this is determining custody rights and a visitation schedule that works for both you and your soon-to-be ex.

Figuring out the best co-parenting arrangement can be a challenge, and it may require adjustments as you go along. My Legal Case Coach can help you incorporate your custody and visitation terms into your Virginia marital settlement agreement, or amend a previous arrangement through the proper legal channels.

Schedule your free 15-minute consultation at buff.ly/3uN9sec and learn more about how we can help you and your family with your DIY custody and visitation case.

When you said "yes" to your partner, you agreed to a life together, never anticipating a divorce. But life is complicated; love is messy. Sometimes, things don't do as planned. But sometimes, things also fall apart so something better can come together. Trust your journey and understand that divorce does not mean failure -- it simply means your mutual love was not meant to be shared forever.

To begin the emotional healing process, ask yourself what you learned. How can you cultivate more self-love? How can you grow from this experience?

Parenting Tip: Turn every bedtime story into an opportunity to bond. 📚

When you read to your kids, you’re helping to build their future. Reading improves language skills in children by exposing them to complex vocabulary and intricate sentence structures. Even more, it stimulates their imagination and nurtures empathy, helping them to develop problem-solving skills and better understand their emotions.

These moments improve concentration and discipline — skills that are just as important in academics as they are in the "real world." So make time to read together with your children, even if you're navigating a busy schedule as a single parent. You (and they) will be glad you did!

We can't always control our lives as much as we wish, but we can still trust that good things are still coming, no matter what turmoil may precede it.

Know that life goes on and things do get better.

Need legal guidance for your DIY Virginia divorce case? At My Legal Case Coach, we offer easy-to-use templatized legal case forms — including ones for marital settlement agreements, divorce cases, spousal or child support, and child custody/visitation — that you can customize with your specific case details. We offer one (1) free hour of 1:1 virtual legal coaching with an experienced Virginia attorney with each form packet purchase, plus ongoing prepaid blocks of coaching time for additional support.

Transparency is always a good idea when discussing big life changes with your children. Keeping them in the dark can lead to confusion, distrust, and even anxiety — but it's important to consider their age, maturity, and which details are relevant when you're discussing a matter like divorce.

You may not want or need to go into detail about the specific reason for the split, but you should explain to your kids exactly how it will affect them going forward. Sit your kids down, preferably with your spouse, and fill them in on the situation as best as you can while offering the support and reassurance they need.
