In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Virginia has two different types of divorce under the law. The first is akin to a legal separation in other states, the second is the tradition dissolution of the marriage contract.  "Divorce from Bed and Board." This legal action preserves the legal marriage, but acts as to divide property and settle child custody and visitation. There is no waiting period for filing this action, but there must be a clear showing of desertion and cruelty. The separation cannot be mutual. The lack of mutuality requirement is what separates this type of divorce from a legal separation.   "Divorce from the Bond of Matrimony." This is the traditional divorce and requires either the 6 to 12 month separation or a showing of grounds. You will need to file for either type of divorce in the county where you or your spouse lives. Because of the different types of divorce and the grounds for divorce in Virginia, the style of the divorce petition can be complicated. You have several options.  For an uncontested divorce based on separation of 6 months for childless couples and 12 months for couples with children, you can use the divorce petition generator from Legal Aid of Virginia. These forms have been created and vetted by lawyers familiar with the laws of Virginia.   Check with the court clerk in your county. Some courts have fill-in-the-blanks form packages for sale. The cost is usually under $10. However, these packages will likely be for uncontested divorces based on separation. You can attach the separation agreement you and your spouse have been living under to the petition. For a fault-based divorce that is likely to be contested, it is highly recommended that you contact a family law attorney. Even if you don't hire them for representation, Virginia law allows attorneys to provide document preparation services. Fault-based divorce petitions must include properly pleaded allegations of the grounds that can pass the court's scrutiny. If you are seeking a divorce from Bed and Board, you should seek legal advice and assistance with document preparation. This interim divorce not only lets you circumvent the waiting period, but also allows you to maintain benefits such as employer health insurance through your absent spouse. It must be pleaded carefully and correctly. While a petition can be amended, it is better to cover everything in the first document. You will be serving this document on your spouse. Amended petitions will require either agreement or new service. If your spouse moves or fights you, getting new service on an amended petition can be difficult.  Division of property. Not only will you need to decide how to divide up your real estate and vehicles, but also your investments, bank accounts, household goods, sentimental items, retirement accounts, and any other personal property. Distribution of debt. Generally a party who will keep a piece of property which is securing a loan, such as a car or house, will also keep the debt that goes along with such property. Other debt should be distributed based on each party’s contribution to the debt, ability to pay, and the amount of property he or she will receive in the divorce. Child custody and visitation. If you have minor children, you should try to come to an agreement on both physical and legal custody, as well as visitation for the noncustodial parent. Physical custody refers to where the child lives. Legal custody to the parent who can make certain decisions for the child such as where he will go to school, church, or what doctors he will see. Child support. In the state of Virginia, there is a presumption that one or both parties should pay child support, even in shared custody cases. To be sure that the court accepts any agreement you reach on the payment of child support, use the forms and calculations provided by the Virginia Courts. Before you file and serve your divorce petition, think about trying mediation. During a divorce mediation procedure, an impartial third party will help you and your spouse reach an agreement on the issues relating to your divorce. Mediation will help you and your spouse stay in control of the issues surrounding your life (e.g., property separation, child custody, and spousal support) as opposed to leaving decisions up to a judge. Unlike going to court, in mediation, no decision is forced upon you and the mediator is only there to help guide you through the process.  First you will need to find a mediator. Try looking in the Yellow Pages, or you might ask your therapist or attorney for advice. In some jurisdictions, the court may be able to appoint a mediator for you.  Next, the mediator will have an orientation meeting with you and your spouse. During orientation, you will learn about the mediation process and the mediator him/herself.  If you like the mediator and the process that was described, you and your spouse will sit down with the mediator a number of times. During these meetings, the mediator will guide you through discussions about the divorce.  If you and your spouse come to a divorce agreement with the help of the mediator, an attorney (or the mediator) will draw up a memorandum of understanding, which spells out the decisions you and your spouse agreed upon. This memorandum will then become the basis of your divorce.  If you and your spouse are unable to agree during mediation, you may need to continue the process of filing for divorce in court. You can file the petition in either the county where you live or where your spouse lives. If the divorce is uncontested, you and your spouse can both sign the papers and attach a waiver of service form.  Otherwise, you can contact the sheriff or a private process server to deliver the divorce petition to your spouse.  You must pay the fee at the time of filing or the clerk will not accept it.  If you are low income, you may qualify to have the filing fee reduced or waived. Ask the court clerk how to proceed in forma pauperis and file the appropriate form and financial information. If you and your spouse have agreed and both signed all of the documents, your court hearing should be short and to the point. The judge will review the documents and agreements and ask you and your spouse some questions. If your spouse does not attend, the judge will enter the orders as agreed. If the divorce is going to be contested, the judge will schedule additional court dates, leading up to the trial.  Be on time. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the courthouse, park, and find the courtroom. If you are not there when your case is called, it may be rescheduled or shuffled to the end of the docket. Arrange for childcare. Many judges do not allow young children in the courtroom and they cannot be unattended in the hall. Stand when you are questioned and answered clearly so the court reporter can hear you. If you do not understand a question, ask the judge to explain. Your divorce is final when the judge signs the decree and it is filed by the court clerk. You will need copies of the decree for property transfer, name change, and other legal changes after your divorce.
Summary: Choose the type of divorce you want. Draw up a petition for divorce. Verify that your petition covers all subjects. Consider mediation. File and serve your divorce petition. Attend your court hearing. Receive your divorce decree.

Problem: Article: Use a fork or a whisk to quickly beat 2 eggs in a bowl. Make sure the bowl is wide enough to fit a few shrimp in it at a time. Look for a frothy yellow color to tell when your eggs are beaten. Shrimp are small, so they do not take long to deep fry. Wait 1 to 2 minutes for the shrimp to cook, and watch for a golden brown color on the breadcrumbs.  Look for an opaque color on the inside of the shrimp to double check that it is done. If your shrimp are overcooked, they will be chewy.
Summary:
Beat 2 large eggs in a medium-sized bowl. Fry the shrimp for 1 to 2 minutes or until they are golden brown.
