Language of Property Settlement Agreement Prohibits Increase in Spousal Support; Court Provides Interpretation of the Phrase “responsible for”

In the case of Miller v. Miller, the Virginia Court of Appeals held (in an unpublished opinion) that the trial court properly denied a wife’s motion for increase in spousal support where the basis for her claim was that her medical insurance costs have increased.  Wife signed a property settlement agreement stating that each party would be “responsible for” his or her own medical expenses, dental expenses, and medical insurance.
