Celebrations of the Alimony Reform members following signing of the Alimony Reform Act of 2011

Our members make a difference. We succeeded getting unanimous Massachusetts House and Senate approval and the Governor's signature for passage of the Alimony Reform Act in 2011.

The fight now continues, however, after the Supreme Judicial Court's 2015 decision to selectively rescind the Alimony Reform Act for women and men divorced prior to March 1, 2012, the date the Act became effective. If you were divorced prior to March 1, 2012, the struggle continues to reform alimony.

MASSACHUSETTS ALIMONY REFORM HAS BEEN WORKING FOR MORE THAN 15 YEARS TO BRING PEACE, INDEPENDENCE, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY TO THE PARTIES OF DIVORCE. OUR MULTI-YEAR EFFORTS CULMINATED IN THE ALIMONY REFORM ACT BECOMING LAW ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2011.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT, IN 3 DECISIONS, MISINTERPRETED THE LAW'S CLEAR INTENT IN 2015.

WE CONTINUE TO WORK TO RESTORE THE ALIMONY REFORM PASSED UNANIMOUSLY IN MASSACHUSETTS, IN 2011..

IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE JOB OF THE SJC IS TO “INTERPRET THE LAW” AND NOT MAKE LAW BY “LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH”, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT.
