Moses v. Moses
Facts:
The wife sought a divorce on the ground of her husband's
cruelty in Virginia Beach. The court ruled that, under all the circumstances,
in view of his wife's conduct, the husband was not guilty of such cruelty as
would justify desertion by her. The trial court found that there was no just
cause for the desertion and that the husband was entitled to a decree on this
ground. The court concurred in this conclusion. The court noted that the
question as to whether the wife could be held guilty of a wilful desertion such
as would entitle the husband to a divorce on the ground of desertion, in view
of a separation agreement between the parties, was a close one. The agreement
recited that the parties had mutually agreed to separate and live apart. The
court decided that the contract, while recognizing that the parties had agreed
to live apart, was entered into for the purpose of adjusting property rights
and so that the husband could avoid a jail sentence.

Holdings:
The
Virginia Court made the following holding:
- The distinction between
an agreement to live separate and apart, made prior to actual separation,
and one made after separation, is a distinction without a real difference.
Voluntary acquiescence after the fact would remove cause of complaint as
well as consent prior to the desertion. A husband or wife may be guilty of
wilful, continued and obstinate desertion notwithstanding articles of
separation are signed, after the desertion, if one spouse knows that the
other spouse dissents from the separation, and he or she is determined to
continue it.
