112 Va. 719 | Va. | 1911
By the Court:
This bill was filed by Thomas H. Lee to obtain a divorce from his wife, Eveline Lee, on the ground of desertion.
The statute (Code, 1904, sec. 2257) provides, that a divorce from the bond of matrimony may be decreed where either party wilfully deserts or abandons the other for three years.
The uncontradicted evidence shows that without cause the defendant has abandoned her husband continuously
The circuit court having denied the divorce, its decree must be reversed and the cause remanded for a decree to be entered in conformity with this opinion.
Reversed.
