About this form
This packet opens an uncontested no-fault divorce in West Virginia, where both spouses agree on the terms.
West Virginia cases with minor children use the official family-court set: the Petition (SCA-FC-101), the Parenting Plan (SCA-FC-121), the Child Support Information Sheet (SCA-FC-120), and the FDVCSAP, with child support under the statutory Worksheets A/B (§§ 48-13-403/502). Custody and support remain subject to the court's best-interests review (§ 48-9-101 et seq.). The settlement product is a PublicLegal-authored agreement that incorporates the official Parenting Plan and the statutory worksheet rather than rewriting them. There is no party-prepared decree product - the family court prepares the Final Order (FCR 22(b)). Those blank official forms are free at courtswv.gov - you are paying for current-edition packaging and ILRG product support. The FAQ below covers the details.
See page 1 of the actual blank form and review a plain-language outline. The complete formatted documents are delivered after checkout.
PETITION FOR DIVORCE (official Form SCA-FC-101). The official West Virginia Judiciary family-court petition that opens a no-fault divorce with minor children. Free blank at courtswv.gov.
Children add the official Parenting Plan (SCA-FC-121) — or each parent's proposed plan (SCA-FC-128/129) — plus child support under the statutory Worksheets A/B (§§ 48-13-403/502) and the Child Support Information Sheet (SCA-FC-120).
The full packet also includes the Verification, Acceptance of Service, Financial Statement, Vital Statistics, fee-waiver companions, the FDVCSAP information sheet, and the PublicLegal-authored settlement agreement incorporating the official Parenting Plan.
No party-prepared decree exists: the family court prepares the Final Order (FCR 22(b)).

The 1 packet documents listed on this page are included, delivered in PDF format. The packet centers on the Petition for Divorce (SCA-FC-101) that opens an uncontested no-fault case, plus the supporting filing documents and reference materials shown above.
The same residency rule applies (§ 48-5-105), and West Virginia must be the children's home state under the UCCJEA for the court to decide custody and parenting time. File in the Family Court of the county where the respondent lives, where you last lived together, or - if the respondent lives out of state - where you live. Confirm local filing practice with the clerk.
West Virginia offers two no-fault grounds: irreconcilable differences have arisen between you (§ 48-5-201) - which requires the respondent not to deny them - or the spouses have lived separate and apart, without cohabitation and without interruption, for one year (§ 48-5-202). This packet is the agreed path. If your spouse will contest, this is not your packet.
The same no-waiting-period track applies, but cases with minor children add the official Parenting Plan (SCA-FC-121) - or, if the parents cannot agree, each parent's proposed parenting plan (SCA-FC-128/129, Family Court Rule 55) - plus child support set under the statutory guidelines using Worksheet A or B (W. Va. Code §§ 48-13-403/502) and the Child Support Information Sheet (SCA-FC-120). If either spouse receives or may owe support through the Bureau for Child Support Enforcement, the FDVCSAP information sheet must be filed. The family-court judge signs the Final Order (FCR 22(b)). Court schedules vary by county.
No. This packet is the agreed path for spouses who settle every issue. If your spouse will contest, consult a West Virginia attorney about the contested process.
No. ILRG provides self-help legal forms and information, not legal advice. Consult a West Virginia attorney if you have significant property, retirement accounts, business interests, safety concerns, or any disagreement about terms.
