Summary

Existing law provides that, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, when a spouse is convicted of attempting to murder the other spouse or of soliciting the murder of the other spouse, the injured spouse shall be entitled to a prohibition of specified support or insurance benefits from the injured spouse to the convicted spouse. Existing law defines "injured spouse" for these purposes. Further, existing law authorizes a court to award attorney's fees and costs in the form of a sanction in these cases. This bill would expand these provisions to also apply when a spouse is convicted of a specified violent sexual felony against the other spouse. This bill would also entitle an injured spouse under these provisions to a prohibition of attorney's fees from the injured spouse to the convicted spouse.
