The Virginia Court made the following holding:

• Whether spousal support should be paid is largely a matter committed to the sound discretion of the trial court, but it is not a discretion to be exercised without reference to Va. Code § 20-107.1 and established guidelines. The statute commands that, in order to exercise its discretion, the court shall consider the specific factors contained therein. Failure to do so is reversible error.

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

• A divorce could be granted on the grounds of desertion where the parties remained under the same roof. The willful withdrawal of the privilege of sexual intercourse, without just cause or excuse, constitutes willful desertion, within the meaning of such statute on the subject as that in Virginia , when such withdrawal is accompanied, as in the cause before us, with such willful breach and neglect of other marital duties as to practically destroy home life in every true sense, and to render the marriage state well nigh intolerable and impossible to be endured. Such conduct, on the part either of husband or wife, is considered to be a general withdrawal from the duties of the marital relationship; and, if willfully done, without just cause or excuse, this, by the great weight of authority, constitutes willful desertion.

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.

• Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.3(H) provides that the Equitable Distribution Act shall not be construed to prevent the affirmation, ratification, and incorporation in a decree of an agreement between the parties pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 20-109 and Va. Code Ann. § 20-109.1. Va. Code Ann. § 20-109 provides that where the parties have entered into a valid contract, no decree or order directing the payment of support and maintenance for the spouse, suit money, or counsel fee or establishing or imposing any other condition or consideration, monetary or nonmonetary, shall be entered except in accordance with that stipulation or contract..

• On appellate review, a divorce decree is presumed correct and will not be overturned if supported by substantial, competent, and credible evidence. Findings by the trial court are given considerable deference on review, and the appellate court defers to the factual findings of the trial court where the trial court took evidence ore tenus.

• 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.

• When husbands and wives litigate equitable distribution, which leads to the inevitable delay in resolving their property rights, they both assume the risk of depreciation and market value fluctuations of their marital property. Circumstances that lead to the dissolution of the marriage but have no effect on the marital property or its value are not relevant to the determination of a monetary award and need not be considered.

• Except in very limited circumstances, third parties should not be allowed to be parties to divorce actions. A divorce by its very nature involves the rights and interests of many persons. If everyone with an interest in a divorce action were added as a party to the suit, there would be no end to divorce litigation, which is already over time-consuming and expensive for the typical couple. Va. Code Ann. § 20-124.2(C) states that: The court may order that support be paid for any child of the parties.

• If a husband, believing his wife's guilt, will afterwards cohabit with her, whether influenced by his compassion or his affections, or induced by her tears, her penitence or her fascinations, he cannot afterwards avail himself of that offense, to obtain a dissolution of the marriage. He is bound by his remission, although he after repent of his indulgence, from his subsequent reflections, or from the persuasion of his friends, or from the influence of what he may call the public opinion.
