The Supreme Judicial Court today issued an order updating the status of operations at state courts and courthouses.
How will alimony be calculated in Massachusetts, now that for orders entered after 12/31/18 it is not deductible to the person paying?
There is no definite answer to that question, unfortunately.
Massachusetts statutory law provides that in most situations alimony will not exceed the lesser of 30-35% of the difference in the parties' incomes or the recipient's need.
However, when that law was adopted in 2012, the assumption was that alimony would continue to be taxed to the recipient and deducted by the payor, neither of which is true for new alimony judgments entered after 12/31/18.
