KCL attorneys  E. Steven Coren and  Mary Beth Ayvazian  successfully argued that KCL's client was entitled to termination of his alimony obligation after paying 19 years of alimony under the new Alimony Reform Act. The case was heard and decided in the Worcester Probate and Family Court under G.L. c. 208, §§ 48 and 49. The Court fully adopted KCL's argument in its Order.

Recently, I noticed a common theme while meeting with clients that wish to modify their Separation Agreements and it dawned on me that too often I hear, "What did I sign"?  It is not uncommon for one spouse to be represented by an attorney and the other spouse to try to go it alone in order to preserve marital assets.  While this is not a bad idea, a simple consultation with an attorney will allow you to fully understand what you are signing and the implications the agreement will have on the entire family moving forward.
