An Act amending Title 23 (Domestic Relations) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in property rights, further providing for equitable division of marital property; and, in alimony and support, further providing for alimony.

Summary

The bill amends Pennsylvania’s domestic‑relations statutes so that a spouse convicted of a personal‑injury crime against the other cannot receive a share of marital property, the right to live in the family home, or alimony unless the court finds it necessary to prevent manifest injustice. It also allows the injured spouse to recover any alimony paid before the conviction. The changes apply to divorce cases and aim to stop abusive spouses from profiting from the marriage.
