Michel v. Michel

Facts:

The ex-wife filed for and received an order from a juvenile and domestic relations court requiring the ex-husband to pay a monthly fee to his ex-wife for support and maintenance in Fairfax. No divorce was entered, but the court ordered the payments. For several years, the ex-husband made the payments. The ex-husband later defaulted on the payments, and the ex-wife initiated proceedings for contempt in a corporation court. The ex-husband challenged the motion on the ground that the corporation court had no jurisdiction as a court of equity to entertain a bill for alimony without a prayer for a divorce. The court reversed holding that the corporation court, as a court of equity, had jurisdiction over the contempt proceedings despite the fact that no divorce had been sought in the original action. The court further concluded that the existence of criminal desertion and non-support statutes did not abrogate the equity jurisdiction upon the breach of a husband's obligation to support his wife, since such an obligation existed regardless of the coverage of the statutes, and statutes did not provide an independent remedy for the person seeking alimony if the defendant was not convicted.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The obligation of the husband to support his wife exists regardless of whether or not she is destitute and in necessitous circumstances. If she is not in such circumstances she could not proceed under the non-support statutes and if those statutes have abrogated the general inherent equity jurisdiction to entertain a suit for separate maintenance her only recourse would be to institute a suit for divorce. This she might not want to do, or, perhaps, she might not have adequate grounds for a divorce. Without the right to proceed in equity for separate maintenance, her remedy would be inadequate.

Jerome v. Jerome

Facts:

A husband was obligated to pay alimony to his wife under a settlement agreement that was incorporated in a decree of divorce a mensa et thoro in Fairfax. He subsequently filed a bill of complaint that sought a divorce a vinculo matrimonii because of the wife's adultery and to set aside the prior decree's alimony provisions on the grounds of fraud, coercion, and duress. The trial court sustained the wife's demurrer to the bill and dismissed the suit. On appeal, the court reversed and remanded. Because the decree a mensa et thoro granted a legal separation but did not sever the marital bond, it was not a final adjudication of support rights and the trial court had jurisdiction to modify the decree's alimony provisions to meet changed conditions, including the power to revoke the provisions if subsequent to the decree the wife forfeited her right to support through misconduct. The first decree, which was entered on the ground of the husband's desertion, barred a later divorce suit on the ground of adultery. The husband was estopped from avoiding the agreement's property settlement provisions because he had not acted promptly and could not escape the agreement's burdens but keep its benefits.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:


  • The marital status is not affected by a decree of legal separation, that is, a divorce a mensa et thoro; and where the wife has been forced by her husband's misconduct to seek a decree of separation, there still continues the duty, arising out of the marital status, to provide his wife with a reasonably sufficient support considering his circumstances and her needs at any given time, provided her right to support has not been forfeited by her misconduct, which forfeiture may be for misconduct prior to the decree for separation or subsequent to the entry of such decree.

Virginia Reckless Driving Richmond Attorneys Intoxication

Lawyer - Virginia Reckless Driving


As per Va. Code § 46.2-852, the general rule for reckless driving is defined as, irrespective of the maximum speeds permitted by law, any person who drives a vehicle on any highway recklessly or at a speed or in a manner so as to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person shall be guilty of reckless driving.

Button v. Commonwealth

Facts:

A police officer saw defendant driving a jeep that was weaving and five times crossed the double yellow line into the on-coming lane in Richmond. The officer stopped the vehicle and noticed signs of defendant's intoxication. Defendant pled guilty to driving under the influence (DWI). At the trial on the habitual offender charge, the Commonwealth introduced into evidence defendant's guilty plea and conviction on the DWI charge, and a prior adjudication as an habitual offender. The trial court denied defendant's motion to strike. Defendant was convicted. On appeal, the court found that defendant's driving behavior clearly rose to the level of reckless and could have endangered the life, limb, or property of another. The trial judge correctly found that defendant's intoxication alone was not enough to show that his driving of itself endangered the life, limb, or property of another, and his intoxication when combined with the evidence of weaving was sufficient to prove a violation of Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357(B)(2). The court also found that for § 46.2-357(B)(2) to apply, the driving behavior did not have to actually harm another person or require another person to take evasive action.

If you are facing a traffic case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help. You can reach us at 888-437-7747

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The distinction between negligent driving and reckless driving is the critical element in determining punishment under Va. Code Ann. § 46.2-357. In defining the conduct that gives rise to felony punishment under 46.2-357(B)(2), the legislature uses the phrase, driving that endangers the life, limb, or property of another, language virtually identical to that found in the statute defining reckless driving. Drunk driving does not per se deserve felony treatment under § 46.2-357. While evidence of intoxication is a factor that might bear upon proof of dangerous or reckless driving in a given case, it does not, of itself, prove reckless driving. The essence of the offense of reckless driving lies not in the act of operating a vehicle, but in the manner and circumstances of its operation.

Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Mere coolness at times and periodical refusal of sexual intercourse alone, with the marital relationship otherwise unimpaired, does not constitute desertion. Where a marriage relation remains otherwise unimpaired, the mere cessation of marital intercourse in the sexual sense, though without justifying cause, does not amount to either cruelty or desertion within the meaning of the divorce laws.

Facts:

            Plaintiff wife appealed from a decree entered by the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) in favor of defendant husband in a suit for divorce, and for counsel fees and alimony, brought by the wife on the grounds of cruelty and desertion.

Holdings:

  • Desertion is a breach of matrimonial duty, and is composed first, of the actual breaking off of the matrimonial cohabitation, and, secondly, an intent to desert in the mind of the offender. Both must combine to make the desertion complete. The intent to desert is usually the principal thing to be considered. Obviously a mere separation by mutual consent is not desertion in either. Nor, as a matter of proof, can desertion be inferred against either from the mere unaided fact that they do not live together, though protracted absence, with other circumstances, may establish the original intent. The courts have not laid down any particular rules of evidence for determining whether a separation does or does not, as matter of proof, amount to desertion; and the question does not admit of such rules, but each case must rest on its own circumstances.

Rodriguez v. Rodriguez

Facts:

            In Fairfax, a child support agreement required the ex-husband pay $ 25 per week child support; the circuit court raised the amount to $ 50, and then upon the ex-husband's petition the circuit court reduced the amount to $ 35. The ex-wife petitioned the circuit court for general relief, alleging that the ex-husband was in arrears in his child support payments. The ex-wife was awarded judgment in the sum of $ 945, the amount of arrearages. On appeal, the court reversed and remanded, holding that because the younger child was still a minor in 1974, the circuit court had the power to order an increase in payments for his support and subsequently to order a reduction in payments. The ex-husband conceded that his contractual obligation to pay child support in the amount of $ 25 per week continued although the younger child had reached the age of majority. The ex-husband argued only that the divorce court lacked jurisdiction to enforce the support obligation, as modified. The court held that where contracts to support the children after their minority were incorporated into support decrees by a divorce court, they could only be modified by that court to the extent of its jurisdiction.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The jurisdiction of a court to provide for child support pursuant to a divorce is purely statutory. The relevant statutes only deal with the court's power to provide for support and maintenance of minor children. Va. Code Ann. §§ 20-103 through -109.1. Once the child reaches majority, the jurisdiction of the divorce court to provide for his support and maintenance terminates unless otherwise provided by agreement incorporated into the divorce decree.

Benson v. Benson

Facts:

            Defendant wife appealed from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which granted plaintiff husband a divorce from defendant on the ground of adultery and which denied her spousal support and awarded child custody and child support to defendant. Defendant contended that the evidence was insufficient to establish adultery and that an amendment to add that ground should not have been allowed.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • A fault divorce cannot be granted merely because a husband and wife are unable to live together in peace and harmony. While a court's judgment cannot be based upon speculation, conjecture, surmise, or suspicion, adultery does not have to be proven beyond all doubt. The evidence must be clear and convincing, based upon proven facts and reasonable inferences drawn from these facts.

Dawson v. Dawson

Facts:

            Appellant husband challenged a decision of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which granted appellee wife a divorce.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • When reviewing a chancellor's decision on appeal, an appellate court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the prevailing party, granting her the benefit of any reasonable inferences. That principle requires the court to discard the evidence of the appellant which conflicts, either directly or inferentially, with the evidence presented by the appellee at trial.
  • Constructive desertion occurs in a marriage where the conduct of the other spouse has caused conditions in the marital home to be intolerable to the point that the affected spouse has to leave.

Black v. Black

Facts:

            Plaintiff husband filed a divorce action against defendant wife in the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia). The trial court granted the parties a divorce and ordered the husband to pay spousal support to the wife. The husband appealed.

            If you are facing a Divorce case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help.  You can reach us at 888-437-7747

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • A divorce from the bond of matrimony may be decreed where either party has willfully deserted or abandoned the other, and such divorce may be decreed to the innocent party after a period of one year from the date of such act. Desertion is a breach of matrimonial duty, and is composed first, of the actual breaking off of the matrimonial cohabitation, and secondly, an intent to desert in the mind of the offender. Both must combine to make the desertion complete. In the absence of justification apparent from plaintiff's own evidence, proof by plaintiff of an actual breaking off of matrimonial cohabitation, combined with the intent to desert in the mind of the offender, entitles a deserted party to a divorce. When such desertion is established, the duty of going forward with evidence of justification and excuse then rests on the defendant, unless such justification appears from testimony adduced by the plaintiff.
  • Desertion as a ground of divorce does not depend on who actually leaves the family home. It means desertion of the marital relationship. Desertion may be constructive, for cruelty by one party which results in the other party's enforced separation is tantamount to desertion by the party performing the cruel acts.

David v. David
Facts:

            Plaintiff, a wife, filed a bill of complaint in Fairfax for divorce alleging cruelty, desertion, and constructive desertion. Upon a grant of demurrer to defendant, the husband, the wife filed an amended bill of complaint. The court sustained the husband's second demurrer, and the wife filed a motion for reconsideration.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The cruelty that authorizes a divorce in Virginia is anything that tends to bodily harm and thus renders cohabitation unsafe, or, as expressed in the older decisions, that involves danger of life, limb, or health. There may be cases in which the husband, without violence, actual or threatened, may render the marriage state impossible to be endured. There may be angry words, coarse and abusive language, humiliating insults, and annoyances in all the forms that malice can suggest, which may as effectually endanger life or health as personal violence, and which therefore would afford grounds for relief by the court. But it is obvious that what merely wounds the feelings without being accompanied by bodily injury or actual menace, mere austerity of temper, petulance of manner, rudeness of language, want of civil attention and accommodation, or even occasional sallies of passion that do not threaten harm, although they be high offenses against morality in the marital state, does not amount to legal cruelty.
  • Denial of sexual intercourse is one of the factors a court would look to as evidence of a withdrawal of the duties of the marital relationship. However, this means denial of sexual relations by the party alleged to be guilty of desertion, not by the one alleging it. Desertion and constructive desertion require egregious actions making up the willful breach and neglect of marital duties. They must be such as to practically destroy home life in every true sense, and to render the marriage state well nigh intolerable and impossible to be endured.

Chang v. Chang

Facts:

            Appellant ex-husband challenged a judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which granted appellee ex-wife a final divorce on the ground that the parties lived separate and apart for one year, refused to grant appellant a divorce on the ground of desertion, and awarded appellee spousal support and attorney fees.

            If you are facing a Divorce case in Virginia, contact a SRIS Law Group lawyer for help.  You can reach us at 888-437-7747

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • In Virginia , a single act of physical cruelty will constitute grounds for divorce if it is so severe and atrocious as to endanger life, if it indicates an intention to do serious bodily harm, if it causes reasonable apprehension of serious danger in the future, or if the precedent or attendant circumstances show that the acts are likely to be repeated.
  • If the plaintiff alleges misconduct that will constitute grounds for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony, his or her application may be barred, in recrimination, by proof that he or she was guilty of conduct that could be a basis for the defendant to obtain a divorce from the bonds of matrimony. A typical example would be adultery committed by both parties.
  • In the context of attorney's fees, a trial court is aware of the usual charges within its jurisdiction, and a relatively modest award may be found to be reasonable. An award of attorney's fees to a party in a divorce suit is a matter for the exercise of the trial court's sound discretion after consideration of the circumstances and equities of the entire case.

Brown v. Brown

Facts:

            The wife filed a bill for a divorce a mensa et thoro on the ground of cruelty. She sought custody of the parties' child, alimony, and child support in Fairfax. On the wife's motion for temporary alimony, child support, fees, and costs, the trial court ordered the husband to pay only for child support, counsel fees, and costs. The husband failed to comply with the order, was cited for contempt, and the questions of child support and custody were referred to a juvenile and domestic relations court. Thereafter, the wife filed a supplemental bill charging adultery and was granted an absolute divorce. The husband was ordered to pay a counsel fee, but no reference was made to alimony. The court held that: (1) under former Va. Code Ann. § 5111 (1911), the "afterwards" jurisdiction of the trial court extended only to child support and custody; (2) absent a statute conferring the power, and of any reservation of the power in the decree, the trial court had no power to modify the final decree of divorce by ordering the payment of alimony; and (3) under Va. Code Ann. § 20-109, the reopening of the prior decree for the granting of alimony when none was granted by that decree was not allowed.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • In the absence of a statute conferring the power, and of any reservation of the power in a decree, a court of equity has no power to modify a final decree awarding a divorce from the bonds of matrimony and decreeing alimony to be paid in monthly installments. An adjudication by a court having jurisdiction of the subject-matter and of the parties is final and conclusive not only as to the matters actually determined, but as to every other matter which the parties ought to have litigated as incident thereto and coming within the legitimate purview of the subject-matter of the action. However, in the absence of statute a court of equity has power by a proper reservation to change or modify its decree as to alimony, on the ground that when power is reserved over a decree for alimony, to that extent, but to that extent only, the decree fixing the amount is not final. Such a reservation itself shows that the court of equity has not completely and finally exhausted its jurisdiction over that subject. But if there is no such statute, and no reservation in the decree, then the matter is res judicata, and the decree cannot be disturbed. Finally, the reservation of jurisdiction to change such a decree must be clear and specific.

Juan v. Juan
Facts:

            Appellant husband challenged the judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which denied a divorce agreement between the husband and appellee wife on grounds that it was a contract to facilitate a separation and promote a divorce.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Desertion can only be complained of when it is against the will of the party who is deserted, and constitutes a grievance which deprives him of the society of his wife without his consent or acquiescence. If there be a separation by consent, that consent shows that the parties deem it no grievance to be deprived of each other's society, and nothing but an unconditional and entire resumption of their early relations can restore them to such a position as would make a new separation by the departure of the wife, as in this case, a criminal desertion.
