Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.1 establishes the criteria to be used for the initial setting of spousal support and Va. Code Ann. § 20-109 applies to a modification of that award. The grounds for divorce listed in Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(A)(1) are adultery and sodomy or buggery committed outside the marriage. The plain language of Va. Code Ann. § 20-109(A), which indicates that a court may increase, decrease or terminate the amount of spousal support, presupposes the existence of a final award which is subject to later modification if the additional criteria of Va. Code Ann. § 20-109 are met. Adultery as referenced in Va. Code Ann. §§ 20-107(1), 20-91(1) can be committed only by a party prior to the dissolution of the marital relationship, while cohabitation as referenced in Va. Code Ann. § 20-109 refers only to the status of an unmarried person.
