Justus v. Justus
Facts:
A wife filed a complaint in Prince William against the
husband, seeking a divorce on the grounds of constructive desertion and
cruelty. She also sought spousal support and attorney's fees. The husband
requested a divorce on the grounds of adultery. The parties represented that
they had resolved the issue of equitable distribution of the marital estate.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- 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.
- Cruelty consists of
anything that tends to bodily harm and thus renders cohabitation unsafe or
involves danger of life, limb or health. The words "bodily hurt"
include any course of conduct which leads to serious nervous or mental
disease. Constructive desertion occurs 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. Mere inability to live
together in peace and harmony does not constitute a fault-based ground for
divorce.
