Ex Spouse Alimony Claims

Summary

In Massachusetts, an ex-spouse can request alimony after the divorce is finalized, depending on the original divorce agreement and any significant changes in circumstances. It is important to review the divorce decree to understand the initial alimony terms. If alimony was not initially awarded or mentioned, the ex-spouse may still petition for it if there are substantial changes in financial situations or needs. Consulting with a family law attorney can provide guidance on the likelihood of an alimony modification or award.
