Approved March 6, 1926.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That sec-
tion fifty-one hundred and eleven of the Code of Virginia, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 5111. Court, on dissolving marriage, may decree as to
estate and maintenance of parties, and custody, et cetera, of children;
provision for revision of decree; extinguishment of property rights.—
Upon decreeing the dissolution of a marriage, and also upon decreeing
a divorce, whether from the bond of matrimony or from bed and board,
the court may make such further decree as it shall deem expedient
concerning the maintenance of the parties, or either of them, and the
care, custody, and maintenance of their minor children, and may
determine with which of the parents the children, or any of them,
shall remain; and the court may, from time to time afterwards, on
petition of either of the parents, revise and alter such decree concern-
ing the care, custody, and maintenance of the children, and make a
new decree concerning the same, as the circumstances of the parents
and the benefit of the children may require. Upon the entry of a
decree of divorce from the bond of matrimony, all contingent rights
of either consort in the real and personal property of the other then
existing, or thereafter acquired, shall be extinguished.
