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.
