Bill > H3393

This bill aims to reform alimony laws in the Commonwealth. Specifically, it makes the following key changes: 1. It allows for deviations from the standard alimony order in certain cases. 2. It prohibits courts from modifying alimony judgments where the parties have agreed in writing that the alimony is not modifiable, unless both parties consent. 3. It defines "existing alimony judgments" as "general term alimony" under the law, and sets guidelines for modifying or terminating these existing judgments, such as when the recipient cohabitates with another person or the payor reaches full retirement age. The bill also allows for extensions of existing alimony orders in certain cases. Overall, the bill seeks to provide more flexibility and clarity around alimony orders and modifications, balancing the interests of both the payor and recipient spouses.
