Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- 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. The
intent to desert is usually the principal thing to be considered.
Obviously a mere separation by mutual consent is not desertion in either.
Nor, as a matter of proof, can desertion be inferred against either from
the mere unaided fact that they do not live together, though protracted
absence, with other circumstances, may establish the original intent. The
courts have not laid down any particular rules of evidence for determining
whether a separation does or does not, as matter of proof, amount to
desertion; and the question does not admit of such rules, but each case
must rest on its own circumstances.
