Pendente Lite Order Did Not Nullify Juvenile Court Spousal and Child Support Order After Husband Nonsuited

In the case of Ipsen v. Moxley, the Virginia Court of Appeals, in a published opinion, ruled that the trial court erred in finding that a juvenile and domestic relations district court order awarding child and spousal support was nullified by a subsequent pendente lite support order entered in husband’s suit for divorce, which he later voluntarily nonsuited, as the district court’s support order automatically resumed upon entry of the nonsuit order.
