		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, September 26, 2011, Governor Patrick signed the Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act of 2011.  The new law will go into effect on March 1, 2012, so we are in a bit of a transition period for a few more months. For more detailed analysis of the MA Alimony Reform Act, please click here to go to our alimony page of our website.  Another resource worth checking out is the website of the Massachusetts Alimony Reform Group.  This group was instrumental in bringing about the changes to the Massachusetts alimony laws. If you are paying alimony now in Massachusetts, make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have received couple of questions on how divorce may affect social security benefits over the past week, so I thought a post on this topic might be helpful. First, a good point to remember is that social security is a federal system, and is thus controlled by federal regulations.   Social Security benefits cannot be bargained like other assets or retirement accounts since the receipt of social security benefits, how they are paid, and to whom are all controlled by federal law.   This is why you don&#8217;t see sections on social security benefits in divorce agreements.

		<description><![CDATA[First of all, I want to be clear that I think that there are cases that certainly call for alimony, also known as spousal support.  There are also cases where our current system seems to create some unfair results.  Those ordered to pay lifetime alimony  might equate their situation to a having a nasty virus &#8211; it can make you feel sick and takes a long time to go away.  In fact, one of the current Massachusetts alimony reform bills, HT 1785 even sounds like a new bug requiring lots of hand sanitizer.

		<description><![CDATA[My regular readers perhaps (hopefully) noticed I have not posted for about a month or so.  It is good to be back!  I started a new law firm The Divorce Collaborative LLC in Medway, MA earlier this summer and have been working with my favorite website/blog guy Jim Spencer of JBS Partners in Winchester, MA on morphing the blog into a full website.  There is still a little work to be done, but it is just about complete.  I would certainly appreciate your feedback on the site. &#8230;Now, let&#8217;s get back to blogging! I am lucky in the fact that [...]]]></description>
