Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Cruelty may consist of cumulative acts of ill treatment, unrelenting abuse and humiliation, not amounting to physical cruelty but resulting in mental anguish which may be as bad as physical wounds and bruises. Inattentiveness, incivility, disputes and other vexations which do not cause reasonable apprehension of harm and which merely contribute to an erosion of the relationship, do not amount to cruelty. A fault divorce based on cruelty cannot be granted because the parties are unable to live together in peace and harmony. Profane and harsh language, petulance of manner, rudeness, a dictatorial bearing, and even sallies of passion that do not threaten harm, do not amount to cruelty. A single act of physical cruelty, without more, does not constitute cruelty as a ground for divorce.
  • A cruelty allegation in a divorce must be supported by probative corroborated evidence.
  • Where a no-fault basis of divorce is established pursuant to Va. Code Ann. § 20-91(9), on proper motion under Va. Code Ann. § 20-121.02, a divorce will be granted on that ground.
