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.
