Bells v. Bells
Facts:

            Plaintiff wife challenged the judgment of the Circuit Court of Fairfax (Virginia), which adopted the recommendation of a commissioner of chancery that found the wife guilty of desertion, granted defendant husband a divorce on the ground of a one year separation, and ordered that no support payments be paid to either party. The trial court had denied the wife's pretrial motion to enforce a support agreement between the parties.

Holdings:

            The Virginia Court made the following holding:

  • Desertion is a breach of matrimonial duty, and is composed first, of the actual breaking off of the marital cohabitation, and secondly, an intent to desert in the mind of the offender. Both must combine to make the desertion complete. The "matrimonial cohabitation" consists of more than sexual relations. It also imports the continuing condition of living together and carrying out the mutual responsibilities of the marriage relationship. A mere denial of sexual intercourse, where other marital duties are performed, does not constitute desertion. The burden of proving desertion should be by a preponderance of the evidence.
