Many consider Massachusetts the lifetime alimony state and for good reason. While the court shall consider all factors identified in M.G.L Chapter 208 Section 34 in determining the amount of alimony, if any, to be paid, they are given considerable discretion as to the award amount and duration as their are no uniform guidelines or formula that the judges must follow in making alimony awards. The same hold true for the division of marital property and assets. The judges have broad discretion to assign to either husband or wife all or any part of the estate of the other. In custody cases, judges are given considerable discretion as to which parent will be awarded custody by determining what is in the best interest of the child.
