Holdings:

The Virginia Court made the following holding:

•  An unrevoked agreement for separation under which the spouses are living apart precludes either from obtaining a divorce for desertion. The rule, as stated, contemplates that the agreement must be unrevoked, and that the spouses must be living apart under the agreement, and there are certain modifications of the rule stated, as, for instance, that where the cause of action had fully accrued at the time of the agreement, the rule would not apply, and where the sole purpose of the agreement is to adjust the property rights of the parties the legal consequences flowing from the prior desertion are not affected. It is also stated that when the agreement is obtained without the real concurrence of the other party, it does not operate as a bar to divorce on the ground of desertion. The general rule is admitted, and while the courts do not commit themselves to the exceptions or distinctions stated, they do think the circumstances of each case determine, and should determine, the action of the court in passing upon a particular case.
