Legislation Pending to End Lifetime Alimony in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, the obligation to pay alimony is based on a number of factors including length of marriage, employability, marital contribution, conduct (malfeasance), and age; however, the statute does not define alimony duration or limitations. Many judges do not believe that existing law grants them the ability to set termination dates for alimony payments. Given changes in child support, perspectives on support, and the state of the economy, members of the Massachusetts Senate introduced a bill in hopes ...

California's "Three Strikes" Law Subject to Renewed Debate
Critics Believe Harsh Law Leads to Overcrowded Prisons
The "three strikes and you're out" law subjects anyone convicted of one or more serious or violent felonies to a 25-years-to-life sentence when convicted of a third felony, regardless of whether it was a violent crime. In fact, the three strikes law can apply for a third conviction of a misdemeanor, like petty theft, that is reclassified as a felony.
This can lead to sentences absurdly long for the crime committed. Early this year, ...
