CODE OF VIRGINIA

DIVORCE FROM BOND OF MATRIMONY AFTER DIVORCE FROM BED AND BOARD (§ 20-117)

The granting of a divorce from bed and board shall not be a bar to either party
obtaining a divorce from the bonds of matrimony on any ground which would
justify a divorce from the bonds of matrimony if no divorce from bed and board
had been granted, unless the cause for absolute divorce was existing and known
to the party applying for the divorce from the bonds of matrimony before the
decree of divorce from bed and board was entered.
