Product Description
Product Description
As a case of first impression, Openshaw v. Openshaw further refines the definition of “need” in G.L. c. 208, § 53 by adding routine savings as a component of alimony in qualified cases.
The session explores Openshaw’s impact on previous cases’ interpretation of the definition of “need” in G.L. c. 208, § 53. Participants gain insight and practical guidance on how a court may determine what constitutes routine savings and marital lifestyle, and how to calculate the savings component of alimony.
This program is essential for Massachusetts family law practitioners who want to stay current on case law developments and ensure they are equipped to address the challenges and opportunities presented by this seminal case.
