Relative to the federal tax collateral consequences of alimony. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 53 of Chapter 208 of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which relates to the determination of alimony payments. The key provision is that alimony payments will be based on either the amount that is federally tax-deductible, or, if not tax-deductible, on the recipient's need or 23% to 28% of the difference between the parties' gross incomes. This change aims to address the collateral federal tax consequences of alimony payments.
