Our Mission

To promote peace, independence, and self-sufficiency of the parties to divorce.

Our Goal

To amend the Massachusetts alimony laws so judges have clear guidelines that:

• Protect the truly needy;
• Eliminate lifelong marital welfare;
• End expensive lawyer battles over vague alimony rules and interpretations;
• Provide equal and consistent application of the law, regardless of the judge;
• End lifetime restrictions on the civil rights of alimony payers; and,
• Support self-sufficiency and independence for both spouses.

What We Do

We are a group of men and women who volunteer their time to:

• Educate legislators, the news media, and the public on the urgent and compelling need to reform Massachusetts alimony laws;
• Testify before Massachusetts legislative committees;
• Propose and support model legislation on fair and equitable alimony laws for men and women; and,
• Voice member horror stories to bring public awareness to the plight of men and women whose civil liberties have been taken away by Massachusetts family law judges.
