		<title>Protest Lifetime TV&#8217;s New Reality Show Deadbeat Dads!</title>
		<description><![CDATA["Unfair to men."--Syndicated advice columnist Amy Alkon, on Deadbeat Dads
Last April, Fathers &#038; Families led a highly-publicized campaign against the show (originally called "Bad Dads") and got Fox to drop it. Now Lifetime TV, which reaches nearly 100 million households, has picked up Deadbeat Dads, which unfairly depicts divorced fathers as uncaring and selfish. Research clearly shows that most divorced dads pay their child support and remain a part of their children's lives, often under difficult circumstances.

		<title>Massachusetts Divorce and Family Law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article provides an overview of recent cases in the context of the Massachusetts Equitable Distribution Statute enacted in 1975, including a summary of the statutory factors and the plain meaning of key legal terms such as conduct and contribution. Discussion will include current practices in the Probate and Family Court affecting due process, asset identification, valuation and allocation, finances, including child support in high income cases, collecting arrearages, alimony in long-term marriages, life insurance, health insurance, and the recent developments and challenges posed by the advent of same sex marriage in Massachusetts. The material includes the recent cases on prenuptial agreements and the legal and financial conundrum they create. The case review also covers the financial obligations of a father whose parental rights are being terminated, and the court’s reading of the term “adopted issue” in a probate case, and the outcome of an unmarried cohabitant’s suit demonstrate the scope of the courts’ decisions on the concept of family in various situations. ]]></description>

		<title>Divorce in Massachusetts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No-fault divorces - in which neither spouse is blamed for the breakdown of the marriage - are awarded on grounds of the "irretrievable breakdown" of the marriage. If the parties are in agreement about property and debt division, as well as child custody and child support matters, they can file a "Joint Petition for Divorce" with the Probate and Family Court stating that the marriage is "irretrievably broken,"and the divorce can be finalized on an expedited basis without a trial.]]></description>
