Bill Summary

Relative to judgment for alimony. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 34 of Chapter 208 of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which relates to judgments for alimony. Specifically, it changes the language from "at any time" to "within 1 year", meaning that the court's ability to modify an alimony judgment is now limited to a one-year timeframe after the initial judgment, rather than being open-ended.
