Summary
In Massachusetts, marital property is divided equitably, not necessarily equally. Alimony is based on factors like marriage length, age, health, and income. You can negotiate to waive alimony for property, but the court must approve it. Winning a criminal case depends on evidence, witness credibility, and legal representation. Consult a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation

Will it be possible if I don’t want the alimony but I want the house?
Yes, it's possible. You can negotiate to waive alimony in return for the house in your divorce settlement. However, the court must approve the agreement, keeping in mind it's equitable. Always consult a lawyer for personalized advice.
How would I know if it equally request and how many percentages of chance I would have?
