In the case of “S.S. v. S.S.,” the Appeals Court of Massachusetts reviewed a decision from the Probate and Family Court regarding a divorce judgment. The original judgment required the husband to pay alimony to the wife potentially for the rest of her life, deviating from the standard durational limits set by Massachusetts law. The wife argued that her mental health condition and inability to work justified this deviation. However, the Appeals Court found that she did not sufficiently prove that her condition would persist beyond the typical termination date for alimony. Consequently, the Appeals Court reversed this part of the judgment. The husband also contested the amount of alimony, child support, and the division of assets, but the Appeals Court upheld these aspects of the judgment, affirming the lower court’s discretion in these matters.
