It prohibits a party convicted of a personal injury crime against the other party from receiving spousal support or alimony pendente lite, unless the court finds manifest injustice. In such cases, the court must review any history of harassment or protection from abuse orders. Any payments made by the injured party before the conviction can be recovered upon petition.
