An Act relative to judgment for alimony

This bill amends Massachusetts law to limit the time window for requesting alimony judgments. Specifically, it changes the rule so that a court can only grant alimony if the request is made within one year of the divorce or separation. This provision directly affects individuals involved in divorce proceedings who wish to seek financial support from their former spouse. By setting a strict one-year deadline, the legislation aims to provide greater finality to divorce settlements and reduce the long-term uncertainty for both parties.
