Full Text of Proposed Amendment
Every person whose marriage has been dissolved shall not be encumbered by any type of governmental intrusion in the form of an alimony obligation to the former spouse. This section shall not be construed to affect a person’s obligation to provide child support and maintain equal responsibility for minor children, or affect the equitable distribution of marital property.
This amendment shall take effect upon passage by the voters and apply to all past, current, and future petitions for dissolution of marriage involving requests for alimony.
