Some important distinctions regarding what is and is not remediable "dissipation" of marital assets were reiterated by the Court of Appeals in Smith v. Smith, ___ Va. App. ___, 444 S.E. 2d 269, 8 VLW 1331 (VCA 5/24/94). It has to be wasteful action that took place when the marriage was falling apart, the Court explains, and that does not include expenditures on an adulterous relationship for 15 years while the marriage remained (because of the wife's blissful ignorance) stable. This is not a strategic wasting of assets in preparation for divorce. Actions that take place while the marriage is still stable and not dissolving simply are not what we mean when we speak of divorce-related dissipation.
