Walter v. Walter
Facts:

            A wife filed a complaint in Richmond 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:

  • In seeking a divorce, the burden of proof is on a party alleging constructive desertion to prove those allegations by a preponderance of the evidence. Allegations supporting a statutory divorce ground must be established by corroborated evidence independent of party admissions. Va. Code Ann. § 20-99.
  • 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.
