Divorce

We hope the following links to outside sources may provide helpful information.

Legal Aid of West Virginia provides a number of divorce resources, including:

• information on how to file for divorce;
• an explanation of the grounds for divorce in West Virginia; and
• answers to frequently asked questions, including questions about spousal support (alimony).

The West Virginia Judiciary has court forms that you may need if you wish to file a divorce.

WomensLaw.org is unrelated to the above organizations and cannot vouch for the accuracy of their sites. We provide these links for your information only.

You will find more information about divorce, including the risks of taking your children out of state while a divorce is pending, on our general Divorce page.
