Product Description
Product Description
Alimony reform went into effect in Massachusetts in 2011 and decisions continue to come down from the SJC. This program keeps family lawyers up to date and ready to practice under alimony reform as it continues to evolve. Questions remain, but more and more answers are emerging, as are strategies for advocating in the areas of reform with outstanding ambiguity, and for bringing light into some of the murkier waters.
Here's a program that answers your questions—about judicial discretion, deviations from the amount and duration of alimony, new rules for modifications, the phasing-in period, how to draft key clauses in separation agreements, how to advocate knowledgeably— and much more. It gives you a comprehensive, multidisciplinary overview of the strategies, techniques, and essential foundation information you need to handle your next alimony case with confidence and authority.
Our panel of experts highlights the changes in the law that impact your clients, as they guide you through the complexities of post-reform alimony judgments and modifications. They teach you how to recognize and avoid the multiple pitfalls that can be disastrous for the unwary practitioner. Take this opportunity to learn from the best—and let them steer you toward success!
