Love v. Love

Facts:

            Plaintiff wife sued defendant husband for a divorce in Fairfax based on cruelty, seeking spousal support distribution of the husband's military pension and attorneys' fees. The husband filed a cross-bill alleging desertion, seeking attorneys' 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:

  • Cruelty may consist of cumulative acts of ill treatment, unrelenting abuse and humiliation, not amounting to physical cruelty but resulting in mental anguish which may be as bad as physical wounds and bruises. Inattentiveness, incivility, disputes and other vexations which do not cause reasonable apprehension of harm and which merely contribute to an erosion of the relationship, do not amount to cruelty. A fault divorce based on cruelty cannot be granted because the parties are unable to live together in peace and harmony. Profane and harsh language, petulance of manner, rudeness, a dictatorial bearing, and even sallies of passion that do not threaten harm, do not amount to cruelty. A single act of physical cruelty, without more, does not constitute cruelty as a ground for divorce.
  • A cruelty allegation in a divorce must be supported by probative corroborated evidence.
  • Where a no-fault basis of divorce is established pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(9), on proper motion under Va. Code Ann. § 20-121.02, a divorce will be granted on that ground.

Bell v. Bell

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.

            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.

  • The decision to award spousal support rests within the sound discretion of the chancellor and will not be overturned unless there has been an abuse of that discretion. Although a party's financial condition after divorce may demonstrate in the abstract the ability of self-support, the chancellor must consider the subjective needs of each spouse in relation to each party's ability to provide for those needs and the other spouse's ability or resources to provide for those needs.

Harrison v. Harrison
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.

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.

  • The law does not permit courts to sever marriage bonds and to break up households merely because husband and wife, through unruly tempers, lack of patience and uncongenial natures, live unhappily together. It requires them to submit to the ordinary consequences of human infirmities and unwise selections, and the misconduct which will form a good ground for legal separation must be very serious and such as amounts to extreme cruelty, entirely subversive of the family relations, rendering the association intolerable.

Flyer v. Flyer

Facts:

            The husband and wife separated in Fairfax. They then entered into a marital separation agreement. A final divorce decree was later entered. The agreement provided that the husband would maintain the wife as an employee of the marital business for a certain time period. The wife, in the first case, filed a petition for a rule to show cause against the husband, and alleged that he had violated the terms of their final decree by failing to keep her as an employee for the requisite length of time. In the second case, the wife filed a motion for judgment and alleged the husband's breach of the separation agreement. The husband filed a counterclaim and explained he had bought out the wife's interest in the business, as he was permitted to do under the clear language of the agreement. The trial court dismissed the wife's petition for rule to show cause and her motion for judgment. She did not timely appeal from the motion for judgment. On appeal, the appellate court found that the wife's failure to timely appeal the motion for judgment meant that appeal had to be dismissed and since the issue in that appeal was dispositive of the appeal in the petition for rule case, that ruling was affirmed.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • The time requirement for the filing of a notice of appeal is jurisdictional. The filing forestalls the finality of the appealed adjudication, notifies the appellee that he cannot rest on his victory, and initiates the time frame of the case in the appellate court. The time requirement for filing is mandatory, and failure of an appellant to file a notice of appeal timely requires dismissal of the appeal. A final order is one which disposes of the whole subject, gives all the relief that is contemplated, and leaves nothing to be done by the court.

Facts:

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Violence and apprehension of bodily hurt, though nearly always appearing in suits for divorce on the ground of cruelty, are not indispensable ingredients of that offense. The authorities generally, including those in Virginia , wisely allow for exceptional cases in which there may be extreme cruelty without the slightest violence. Mental anguish, repeated and unrelenting neglect and humiliation, may be as bad as physical wounds and bruises, and may be visited upon an unoffending spouse in such degree as to amount to cruelty even in the very strict sense in which that term ought always to be used in the law of divorce.

Facts:

            Plaintiff husband appealed a final decree of the Circuit Court of Fairfax, Virginia, granting defendant wife a divorce on the ground of cruelty and adjudicating the issues of equitable distribution, spousal support, and attorney's 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:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(A)(6) authorizes a divorce from the bond of matrimony on the ground of cruelty. The misconduct that will form a good ground for divorce must be very serious and such as amounts to extreme cruelty, entirely subversive of the family relations rendering the association intolerable. The long-established rule is that the cruelty that authorizes a divorce is anything that tends to bodily harm and thus renders cohabitation unsafe. Moreover, a single act of physical cruelty will constitute grounds for divorce if it is so severe and atrocious as to endanger life or it indicates an intention to do serious bodily harm. Before a spouse may obtain a divorce, he or she must prove the grounds therefor and no complaint for divorce shall be defaulted, taken for confessed, or granted upon the pleadings or upon uncorroborated testimony.
  • It is not necessary that the testimony of the complaining spouse be corroborated on every element or essential charge stated as a ground for divorce. The corroborative testimony need not be sufficient, standing alone, to prove the alleged ground for divorce. Any other rule would deprive the testimony of the complaining spouse of any practical effect. The general rule is that where a particular fact or circumstance is vital to complainant's case, some evidence of the same, in addition to the complainant's own testimony, is essential. The main object of the provision of the statute requiring corroboration is to prevent collusion. Where it is apparent that there is no collusion, the corroboration needs to be only slight.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Cruelty may consist of cumulative acts of ill treatment, unrelenting abuse and humiliation, not amounting to physical cruelty but resulting in mental anguish which may be as bad as physical wounds and bruises. Inattentiveness, incivility, disputes and other vexations which do not cause reasonable apprehension of harm and which merely contribute to an erosion of the relationship, do not amount to cruelty. A fault divorce based on cruelty cannot be granted because the parties are unable to live together in peace and harmony. Profane and harsh language, petulance of manner, rudeness, a dictatorial bearing, and even sallies of passion that do not threaten harm, do not amount to cruelty. A single act of physical cruelty, without more, does not constitute cruelty as a ground for divorce.
