MCLE New England: Cavanagh & Beyond: Advanced Strategies for Alimony & Child Support

Join Verrill’s Rachel Deering andHannah Zukoff for MCLE New England’s program, Cavanagh and Beyond: Advanced Strategies for Alimony and Child Support, taking place on September 24, 2026. 

Join an engaging panel discussion examining the evolving interplay between alimony and child support in the wake of the Supreme Judicial Court’s 2022 decision in Cavanagh v. Cavanagh and the implementation of the new Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines effective December 1, 2025. Together, these developments continue to shape how practitioners approach support calculations, negotiation strategy, settlement structuring, and trial advocacy in family law matters.

This program provides you with practical guidance on navigating the challenges that arise when alimony and child support intersect, including how courts are applying Cavanagh and the implications of the new Child Support Guidelines across a range of factual scenarios. Panelists discuss developing trends, unresolved issues, and strategic considerations for advising clients in cases involving overlapping support obligations, fluctuating income, bonuses, parenting schedules, and other complex financial circumstances.
