Although some alimony reform would be helpful to avoid inequities, such as alimony that lasts longer than the marriage. But after reading this bill, this is unworkable – so many assumptions and subjective interpretations would have to be made. And a lawyer can be served with Notice of Intent to Retire 10-20-30 years after they completed representation? Way too much burden on a lawyer who hasn’t seen or heard from a client in decades. Just another indicator that our legislators don’t understand what happens during a divorce proceeding. And people cannot afford divorces now; the Legislature just keeps make it more and more difficult, with convoluted requirements like this proposed bill, the cost will keep going up. Sorry, don’t like this one at all
