MASS ALIMONY REFORM BLOG

It is time for action

2008-10-17T15:57:00.005-04:00

With the election around the corner, we will be again lobbying our legislators to support the re-introduction of a Bill to amend the current Alimony Laws in Mass. It is important that all of you attend fund raisers for the State Reps and Senators and educate them for the need for this reform. When a Politician is seeking your support, he will give you alot of attention.

I have been receiving many new horror stories recently, and we all feel each others pain. Anyone new to this Blog, please tell us your story. These stories and how the archaic Mass Alimony Laws are impacting your lives get the attention of anyone who reads them.

Here and Now : 7/30/2008 This radio talk show confirms the horror stories sent to us by victims of the current alimony laws in Mass. It is time for all of us to be heard, as we are not alone any more, and as a group, we can get the Mass Legislature to address this, and pass our legislation. The law is the problem, and HR 1567 is the solution.
