Why the model tagged it this way: The bill updates Virginia's domicile and residency requirements for filing suits for annulment, affirmance, or divorce, with specific presumptions and rules for U.S. Armed Forces members, civilian employees, and those returning from overseas stations. It deletes some limiting language around 'armed forces' and 'domiciled' but does not alter any substantive rules on custody, parenting time, child support, alimony, or related matters between parents. No other tracked topics are substantively addressed.
