Practice/Industry Group Overview

The term “alimony” is probably one of the most frightening terms to a spouse who is involved in divorce litigation.  I have represented both men and women, due to the success of their respective careers, who find that when he/she divorce, there may be an obligation to support not only the children of the marriage but also the spouse.

One of the most frequently asked question is WHEN WILL IT END! I have consulted with people in their seventies and eighties who as a result of the divorce judgment they are subject to, there is no sooner termination date.  I will tell you that there are many bills in the legislature dealing with setting limitations on the duration of alimony, as this is a hotbed of litigation in Massachusetts.  The Massachusetts Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers to which I have belonged since October 6, 1990 provided a bill based upon a great deal of research and industry of our membership, but thus far the legislature has not acted on it.
I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your unique circumstances.
