HB 2219 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to abolishing spousal support

HB 2219 would abolish spousal support in West Virginia by removing it from state law. The bill states that spousal support is "hereby abolished," making any existing court orders, prenuptial agreements, or separation agreements requiring spousal payments void and unenforceable. This change would directly affect individuals involved in divorce or separation cases who have such agreements in place. The bill repeals all existing provisions governing spousal support, including its classifications (like temporary or rehabilitative support) and payment mechanisms.
