An Act to protect survivors of spousal abuse from alimony liability

HD 2958 requires courts to deny or terminate alimony payments to spouses convicted of abuse, protecting survivors from having to pay. It amends multiple sections of family law to mandate this for cases involving physical harm, threats, or forced sexual relations as defined in existing statutes. Survivors who would otherwise be ordered to pay alimony to an abusive ex-spouse are directly affected. The bill also removes language that previously prevented abuse orders from being used as evidence in alimony cases.
