FL S1686

Courts are prohibited from awarding equitable distribution of property in divorce cases to a party convicted of attempting or conspiring to murder the other party.

Persons convicted of murder, manslaughter, DUI/BUI manslaughter, or aggravated assault are barred from receiving alimony if the crime resulted in death or serious bodily injury to a family member (spouse, child, parent, or sibling) and occurred after the marriage.

Persons convicted of attempting or conspiring to commit murder are prohibited from receiving alimony from their intended victim.

Parents convicted of child abuse, abandonment, neglect, or sexual abuse of a minor child lose all inheritance rights and estate administration rights, unless a court determines the parent-child relationship was subsequently restored.

The disqualified parent's share of the child's estate is distributed as if the parent predeceased the child.
