AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 13 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALIMONY.
This act prohibits an individual from receiving alimony who is convicted of committing a violent felony, where the victim is their spouse or a child under the age of 18 of either party to the divorce or annulment proceeding. Under current Delaware law, an individual can engage in acts of abuse towards their partner or child and may nonetheless be awarded interim alimony or alimony pursuant to Delaware law. This Act mandates that such an unjust result shall be unequivocally prohibited.
