Grounds For A Virginia Divorce
Virginia Law Recognizes Two Types Of Divorce
Divorce from bed and board (a mensa et thoro) and a divorce from the bond of matrimony (a vinculo matrimoni).
A divorce from bed and board is a partial or qualified divorce under which a husband and wife are legally separated from each other but are not permitted to remarry.
A divorce from the bond of matrimony is a complete and absolute divorce.
The law requires that "grounds" (valid reasons for divorce prescribed b law) for divorce must exist and be proven to the court even if the husband and wife agree that a marriage should end.
