A South Florida woman who was convicted for trying to hire a hitman to kill her husband is no longer married to the man, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Dalia and Michael Dippolito's divorce was finalized last week, the newspaper reported. In the divorce, Michael Dippolito gets their home and its contents. They will each keep the assets that they each had before they were married, and they will each be take care of their own debts, the paper reported.
She is on house arrest as she appeals her 20-year sentence after she was convicted by a jury in May of solicitation to commit first-degree murder. She had faced a maximum of 30 years in prison.
The Boynton Beach newlywed wife was accused of reaching out to a hit man -- who turned out to be an undercover cop -- to kill her husband in an effort to gain control of the couple's home in 2009.
After an elaborate sting caught on tape in which Dippolito teared-up after she was told by police her husband was dead, cops told her he was still alive and she was arrested.
The couple had been married for just six months, but the hitman hire was allegedly the third attempt the femme fatale had made on her husband. She had previously tried spiking his tea with antifreeze and tried to get two strangers to kill him, according to police.
Michael Dippolito's divorce attorney said his client wants to move on.

"He's looking forward to moving on with his life and putting this behind him," Jason Brodie was quoted by the newspaper as saying. "As much as he wishes the criminal part of this was over as well, he understands that this is part of the process."
Meanwhile, Dalia Dippolito's attorney told the paper that she was glad it was complete.
