Bills in New Jersey Legislature could change alimony awards

Article here. Excerpt:

'Approval of this legislation would allow alimony payers to: modify their existing agreements; determine the recipients’ alimony by preset formulas based entirely upon the length of the marriage, regardless of specifics such as disability of a spouse or child, ages of the parties, inheritance, attorney/judicial review and more; grant alimony for no longer than about half the number of years of the marriage; and eliminate the word “permanent” from any alimony award, with such support ending at the latest by the time the payer retires.
...
National Organization of Women (NOW) New Jersey president Jennifer Armiger said that NOW opposes this legislation as “it advances the interest of alimony payers — a majority of men and a small handful of women — who are seeking to overturn their alimony payments while disregarding the economic circumstances of the recipients.”'
