May v. May
Facts:
Appellant wife filed a bill of complaint for divorce on
the grounds of desertion and cruelty. Appellee husband filed a cross-bill of
complaint for divorce. The commissioner in chancery recommended that the wife's
grounds for divorce on desertion be granted. The Circuit Court of Loudoun (Virginia)
granted the wife a divorce on the grounds of desertion, but ordered her to
indemnify the husband regarding credit card debt. The wife appealed.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- When a court refers a
cause to a commissioner in chancery, it does not delegate its judicial
functions to the commissioner, and it is not bound by the commissioner's
recommendations. Rather, the court must review the evidence, apply the
correct principles of law, and make its own conclusions as to the
appropriate relief required. The Virginia Supreme Court has defined the
authority of a commissioner in chancery in an equity proceeding as an
officer appointed by the chancellor to aid him or her in the proper and
expeditious performance of his or her duties.
- Va. Code Ann. §
20-107.3(E)(5) requires the court to consider the circumstances and
factors that contributed to the dissolution of the marriage without
limiting the trial court to considering only the grounds of divorce that
were proven. Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3(E)(5). Whether a party has proven
such a factor or circumstance as legal grounds for divorce is different
from whether it had an impact on the marriage dissolving.
