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.

            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:

  • 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.

            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:

  • 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.

Creamer v. Creamer
Facts:

            Plaintiff wife sued defendant husband in Fairfax for a divorce 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.
  • Under certain circumstances, a spouse does not commit desertion if she leaves without the foundation of a judicial proceeding for a divorce. While a spouse is not justified in leaving merely because there has been a gradual breakdown in the marriage, a wife is free from legal fault if she leaves because of an at of physical abuse, not amounting to cruelty sufficient to be a ground of divorce, if the husband's conduct was the provoking cause for her departure.

A separation by mutual consent does not amount to desertion or abandonment in the law.

  • Cruelty may be established by any conduct that renders marital cohabitation unsafe or that involves danger to life, limb, or health. Physical violence and reasonable apprehension of bodily harm may be components of cruelty, but mental anguish and unrelenting neglect and humiliation may also be as bad as physical wounds in such degree as to amount to cruelty. Cruelty may consist of a single act of atrocious misconduct that causes serious bodily harm, but generally, it consists of successive acts of ill treatment.
  • A divorce based on cruelty grounds cannot be granted merely upon evidence of marital disharmony, angry words, and annoyances.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • To establish a charge of adultery the evidence must be clear, positive and convincing. Strongly suspicious circumstances are inadequate. Care and circumspection should accompany consideration of the evidence. One spouse is not guilty of legal desertion in separating from the other after the institution of a suit for divorce or during its pendency. The party seeking a divorce on the ground of desertion has the burden of proving that the desertion occurred prior to the institution of suit.

Bells v. Bells
Facts:

            Plaintiff wife challenged the judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which adopted the recommendation of a commissioner of chancery that found the wife guilty of desertion, granted defendant husband a divorce on the ground of a one year separation, and ordered that no support payments be paid to either party. The trial court had denied the wife's pretrial motion to enforce a support agreement between the parties.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Desertion is a breach of matrimonial duty, and is composed first, of the actual breaking off of the marital cohabitation, and secondly, an intent to desert in the mind of the offender. Both must combine to make the desertion complete. The "matrimonial cohabitation" consists of more than sexual relations. It also imports the continuing condition of living together and carrying out the mutual responsibilities of the marriage relationship. A mere denial of sexual intercourse, where other marital duties are performed, does not constitute desertion. The burden of proving desertion should be by a preponderance of the evidence.

Dickson v. Dickson

Facts:

            Appellant husband appealed from a final decree of divorce, which granted appellee wife a monetary award along with spousal and child support. The Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) determined the marital property subject to equitable distribution at a hearing and factored in the five-year period of premarital cohabitation in addition to the factors enumerated in Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3.

            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. § 20-107.3 does not prevent the trial court from considering premarital contributions to the acquisition or maintenance of property later deemed marital property in fashioning an equitable distribution. Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3(E)(2), (6) clearly require consideration of the contributions of each party in the acquisition and care and maintenance of such marital property and how and when specific items of such marital property were acquired. Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3(E)(10) allows consideration of such other factors as the court deems necessary or appropriate to consider in order to arrive at a fair and equitable monetary award.

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • As the plain language of See Va. Sup. Ct. R. 4:1(b) indicates, a party's request for discovery will not be denied so long as it is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action. The rule establishes a broad scope for discovery requests, defining the relevancy of such requests by relation to the subject matter of the action, regardless of whether they relate to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or to the claim or defense of any other party.

James v. James

Facts:

            Appellant former husband appealed from a final decree of divorce, which was granted by the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia) on the ground of the former wife's adultery. The former husband contended that the trial court erred in its orders of spousal support, distribution of marital property, award of litigation costs, and in not granting the divorce on the additional ground of desertion by the former wife.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Desertion occurs when one spouse breaks off marital cohabitation with the intent to remain apart permanently, without the consent and against the will of the other spouse.
  • Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.1 provides in part that any maintenance and support shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 20-109, and no permanent maintenance and support shall be awarded from a spouse if there exists in such spouse's favor a ground for divorce under the provisions of Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(1) (adultery, sodomy, or buggery). However, the court may make such an award notwithstanding the existence of such ground if the court determines from clear and convincing evidence, that a denial of support and maintenance would constitute a manifest injustice, based upon the respective degrees of fault during the marriage and the relative economic circumstances of the parties.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • In England , formerly, divorces were not allowed for desertion. The only remedy for such a wrong was a suit in the ecclesiastical courts for restitution of conjugal rights. But, those courts, while requiring the offending party to return and live with the libellant, never undertook to compel the granting of sexual intercourse. They made a clear distinction between marital intercourse (sexual intercourse) and marital cohabitation (living together). The latter was a right to be enforced by the courts; the former was a right to be enforced only in foro conscientiae.
