The Supreme Judicial Court’s momentous decision in Cavanagh v. Cavanagh interpreting the Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act creates far-reaching changes to how family law judges are to assess whether to award child support or alimony in divorce cases. A year after this decision we look at how the world of support in the Probate and Family Court has been altered.
