What is the proper venue for my divorce action?

Pursuant to VA Code § 8.01-261, the preferred venue for a suit for divorce is the county or city in which the parties last cohabited. At the option of Plaintiff, the proper venue can also be the county or city where Defendant resides, if Defendant is a resident of the Commonwealth. In cases where an order of publication is used against the Defendant, venue is also proper in the county or city where Plaintiff resides.
