New Divorce Calculator Apps for Massachusetts

By Anonymous
Kelsey & Trask, P.C. was the first to have an iPhone App for calculating Child Support in Massachusetts and we've recently updated it with a new look.  In addition we are now introducing two new iPhone applications:

The Massachusetts Alimony App: Use this worksheet to calculate the maximum amount and duration of alimony in Massachusetts based on the Alimony Reform Act which took effect on March 1, 2012.  The App allows you to save your calculations or e-mail them.

  


Massachusetts Divorce Calculators App: Includes the following 4 calculators necessary to determine family support in Massachusetts: Massachusetts Child Support Calculator, Massachusetts Alimony Calculator, Full Retirement Age Calculator, and Alimony Recapture Calculator.

The Massachusetts Child Support Calculator is the same one contained in our Child Support App and the Massachusetts Alimony Calculator is the same one contained in our Mass Alimony App:

  

The two additional calculators relate to the calculation of alimony in Massachusetts:

The Full Retirement Age Calculator assists with calculating the full retirement age under the Social Security Act, as referenced in the Alimony Reform Act.


The Alimony Recapture Calculator assists with determining if your alimony order will lead to any tax recapture under the current IRS rules.

What is the purpose of the Divorce Nisi waiting period?

By
In Massachusetts the statutory waiting period after a Judgment of Divorce and before the divorce becomes final (or absolute) is called the Nisi period. After a divorce case settles or goes to trial, a Judgment of Divorce Nisi will issue and it will become Absolute after a further ninety (90) days. This waiting period serves the purpose of allowing parties to change their mind before the divorce becomes final. If the Judgment of Divorce Nisi has issued but not become final yet, and you and your spouse decide you don't want to get divorced, then you can file a Motion to Dismiss and the Judgment will be undone. Although many of my clients who are getting divorced think the idea of getting back together with their ex sounds crazy, I have had cases where this happened. In addition to offering a grace period to change your mind, the Nisi period has three other legal effects: 1. The most obvious effect of the waiting period is that you cannot remarry during the Nisi period, be...

Online Tool for Creating Parenting Plans

By
It is our hope that all families find a way to resolve conflict peacefully.  This is especially true when children are involved.  Divorced or separated parenting has many complications and the first is just deciding how to share time with a child from two separate households.  Developing a schedule can result in a lot of tension, especially if parents have trouble picturing how this new schedule will interact with their work schedules and the schedules of their children. To help make this easier, we've created an online tool for creating parenting plans that is simple and easy to use: We encourage parents, regardless of the process they are using to divorce, to use this form to assist in evaluating and settling custody disputes. The form allows you to choose between the Model Parenting Plan proposals or customize your parenting plan over a four week period by clicking directly on the form.  When you click on a section of the calendar it switches between ...
