The court Fauquier County is assigned to
Alexandria Division, Eastern District of Virginia (vaeb)
Bankruptcy venue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1408, not by county alone. It can rest on domicile, residence, a principal place of business, or principal assets in the United States, measured over the 180 days before filing — so a recent move can change which district is available. Confirm venue before filing.
E.D. Va. Local Civil Rule 3(B)(1): "The Alexandria Division shall consist of the City of Alexandria and the Counties of Loudoun, Fairfax, Fauquier, Arlington, Prince William, and Stafford and any other city or town geographically within the exterior boundaries of said counties."
