Bill Summary

Relative to timely judgments for alimony. The Judiciary.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 34 of Chapter 208 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The key provision is that it changes the timeframe within which a judgment for alimony can be made from "at any time" to "within 1 year". This means that courts will now have a 1-year deadline to issue a judgment for alimony, providing more timely resolution of these cases.
