Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- On appellate review, a
divorce decree is presumed correct and will not be overturned if supported
by substantial, competent, and credible evidence. Findings by the trial
court are given considerable deference on review, and the appellate court
defers to the factual findings of the trial court where the trial court
took evidence ore tenus.
- Where dual or multiple
grounds for divorce exist, a trial judge can use sound discretion to
select the grounds upon which to grant the divorce. Va. Code Ann. §
20-91(6) authorizes a trial court to grant a divorce where either party
has been guilty of cruelty, caused reasonable apprehension of bodily hurt,
or willfully deserted or abandoned the other. It is within a trial court's
discretion to determine whether a finding of cruelty entitles a wife to a
divorce on the ground of constructive desertion. Desertion as a ground for
divorce does not depend on who actually leaves the marital home. Rather,
it means desertion of the marital relationship, and it may be
"constructive," for cruelty by one party, which results in the
other party's enforced separation.
