Representing Alimony Plaintiffs and Defendants
The Alimony Reform Act of 2011 has dramatically reformed the way alimony is structured in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Whether you are getting a divorce and seeking to receive or avoid paying alimony as part of the divorce, or have been a recipient or payor of alimony for some time, Heather-Jill Williams Family Law PC offers practical legal advice on alimony and will advise you as to your rights or obligations under this new law.
A major aspect of this legislation relates to term limitations on alimony. Many divorced individuals are in the situation where their Judgment requires them to pay alimony for life. The Alimony Reform Act of 2011 allows for alimony to be modified and terminated at a certain date in certain circumstances.
Alimony Modifications and Terminations
Whether you are paying or receiving alimony it is important to know how this new law may impact you. If you are the recipient of alimony, a consultation with Attorney Williams will provide you the knowledge you need to plan for a potential termination or reduction of your spousal support. If you are currently paying alimony, Attorney Williams will assess your case and advise you as to if, when, and how you can go about filing a case to modify or terminate your alimony obligation.
Retirement also affects the termination of alimony. Full retirement age based upon the United States Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance Program may be grounds for termination of an alimony obligation. Cohabitation may also affect alimony payments, now and in the future.
Call for your consultation with Attorney Williams to understand your alimony rights and obligations under the law.
