In the case of “Glick v. Greenleaf,” the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts addressed whether the Probate Court had jurisdiction over a case involving a separation agreement incorporated into a divorce judgment. The plaintiff, Linda Greenleaf Glick, brought an action against her father, Richard S. Greenleaf, to enforce the provisions of the separation agreement. The agreement required the father to name his ex-wife and children as beneficiaries of his retirement plan, but he failed to do so, opting instead to purchase an annuity. The Probate Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, awarding her a portion of the annuity. The Appeals Court initially reversed this decision, but the Supreme Judicial Court granted further appellate review and affirmed the Probate Court’s judgment, confirming its jurisdiction over the matter.
