Code § 20-107.3 — personally amended by Mr. Sris — the court considers 11 factors including the duration of the marriage, each spouse’s contributions, and the economic circumstances of each party. Separate property (assets acquired before marriage, inheritances, or gifts to one spouse) is excluded from division.
