In a divorce proceeding, if there has been a criminal conviction for domestic violence by one spouse against another within five years prior to filing for the dissolution of marriage, there are multiple issues that arise. First, the offending spouse will typically suffer the following penalties:
- The spouse convicted of domestic violence may be prohibited from receiving spousal support.
- The injured spouse will not have to pay any attorneys fees for the convicted spouse out of their separate property.
