- Calculating alimony for high income earners including business owners and corporate executives.
- Identifying and tracing hidden income through a forensic approach.

- Determining the length, amount and duration of alimony under the Massachusetts Alimony Reform Act.
- Contempt and Modification actions affecting the enforcement and modification of alimony orders.
- Conceptualizing alimony agreements to maximize after-tax cash flow.
How Long Must You Pay Alimony?
In Massachusetts, the duration of payments is related to the length of the marriage. For example, marriages under 5 years cannot require payments for more than 50% of the number of months you were married. Marriages of more than 20 years can be indefinite, or for as long as the judge feels is fair.
Alimony may stop completely if:
- Either spouse passes away
- The receiving spouse remarries and lives with their new partner for at least 3 months
- The payor reaches retirement age
If you feel that your alimony order needs to be modified, speak with our attorney today to learn more about your options.
