Chang v. Chang

Facts:

            Appellant ex-husband challenged a judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which granted appellee ex-wife a final divorce on the ground that the parties lived separate and apart for one year, refused to grant appellant a divorce on the ground of desertion, and awarded appellee spousal support and attorney fees.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • In Virginia , a single act of physical cruelty will constitute grounds for divorce if it is so severe and atrocious as to endanger life, if it indicates an intention to do serious bodily harm, if it causes reasonable apprehension of serious danger in the future, or if the precedent or attendant circumstances show that the acts are likely to be repeated.
  • If the plaintiff alleges misconduct that will constitute grounds for a divorce from the bonds of matrimony, his or her application may be barred, in recrimination, by proof that he or she was guilty of conduct that could be a basis for the defendant to obtain a divorce from the bonds of matrimony. A typical example would be adultery committed by both parties.
  • In the context of attorney's fees, a trial court is aware of the usual charges within its jurisdiction, and a relatively modest award may be found to be reasonable. An award of attorney's fees to a party in a divorce suit is a matter for the exercise of the trial court's sound discretion after consideration of the circumstances and equities of the entire case.
