In the case of “Freedman v. Freedman,” the Appeals Court of Massachusetts dealt with a divorce action involving Roger A. Freedman and Ippolita S. Freedman. The couple had a child and the court was tasked with determining custody arrangements. The trial court ordered a unique custody arrangement where the child would alternate living with each parent annually. This decision was challenged on appeal, but the Appeals Court affirmed the trial court’s judgment, finding that the arrangement was not an abuse of discretion. The court emphasized that the trial judge had carefully considered the circumstances and the best interests of the child. Additionally, the case involved issues of alimony and division of property, which were also upheld by the Appeals Court.
