Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:
  • Where a wife leaves the marital home and alleges her leaving to have been caused by the misconduct of the husband who remains in the family residence, such misconduct must be proved to be so serious that it makes the marital relationship intolerable or unendurable. The duty of going forward with the evidence of justification rests upon the party who leaves, unless the justification appears from the testimony adduced by the remaining party. The judgment of the trial court is presumed correct, and will not be disturbed on appeal unless the record reveals that it is plainly wrong or without evidence to support it, pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 8.01-680.
  • Va. Code Ann. § 20-107.1 deprives the trial court of jurisdiction to award spousal support to a spouse found at fault. It provides that any maintenance and support shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Va. Code Ann. § 20-109, and no permanent maintenance and support shall be awarded from a spouse if there exists in such spouse’s favor a ground of divorce under any provision of Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(1), (3), (6), or § 20-95.
