Black v. Black
Facts:
The husband and the wife entered into an agreement to
divorce in which the husband gave the wife cash, furniture, and a truck in
consideration of the release of the husband of his obligation to provide her
with maintenance and support. During the two-year period of the separation
agreement, the husband and the wife frequently cohabited. Despite the wife's
persistent efforts to reconcile the marriage, the husband instituted
proceedings claiming that the agreement of separation was valid, and that
desertion was a ground for divorce. The trial court dismissed the case. The
Loudoun court affirmed. The court reasoned that the alleged agreement between
the husband and his wife was void because contracts to facilitate divorce are
against public policy. The Loudoun court also determined that the mere
separation by mutual consent of the husband and the wife did not constitute a
desertion by either party, and was not therefore an additional reason to grant
a divorce. The court concluded that there was no evidence that the wife
deserted her husband so as to entitle him to 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.
