AI Summary
This bill proposes several key changes to alimony laws in the Commonwealth. First, it allows for deviation from the standard alimony order in certain cases. Second, it prohibits the modification of alimony judgments where the parties have agreed in writing that the judgment is not modifiable, unless both parties consent. Third, it clarifies the treatment of existing alimony judgments, stating that they shall be considered general term alimony and can be modified based on the payor reaching retirement age or the recipient cohabitating with another person for a continuous period of at least 3 months. The bill aims to reform alimony laws to provide more flexibility and clarity around the modification of alimony judgments.
