Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Re: Legal Seperation

I would suggest that the wife arrange

for a consultation with a Virginia attorney who is eminently qualified to discuss the "ins and outs", so to speak, of this now largely ignored species of divorce known as "a mensa et thoro", which you've correctly translated from the venerable Latin as "Bed & Board", with the exception of your omission of the preposition "from". This attorney, after reviewing all of the relevant and pertinent facts associated with your particular situation, should be able to advise you as to whether the "Bed & Board" remedy is the way that you should proceed in this matter.
