Bill > H3088

This bill aims to reform alimony laws in the Commonwealth. The key provisions include: 1. Allowing courts to deviate from the standard alimony order in certain cases. 2. Prohibiting the modification of alimony judgments without the consent of both parties, except where the parties have agreed in writing that the judgment is modifiable. 3. Defining "existing alimony judgments" as "general term alimony" under the law and setting guidelines for their modification, such as terminating alimony that exceeds the durational limits unless the court finds deviation is warranted, and allowing modification based on the payor's retirement or the recipient's cohabitation with another person. 4. Providing a definition of "cohabitation" and the factors the court may consider in determining if the recipient is maintaining a common household with another person, leading to the suspension, reduction, or termination of alimony.
