Dawson v. Dawson
Facts:
Appellant husband challenged a decision of the Circuit

awarded the wife attorney's fees.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

disharmony, angry words, and annoyances.

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.

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.

Franco v. Franco
Facts:
In this divorce proceeding, defendant husband appealed
the rulings of the trial judge from the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia),

about adultery and later struck the husband's amended answer. The wife had

marriage.

- 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.

Porter v. Porter

Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which rendered a divorce decree in favor of
plaintiff husband based on constructive desertion.

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.
