How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- confirming that under 1974 law, judges had broad discretion provided that they considered all statutory factors and made required findings of fact
- explaining that statute gives court “power to dispose completely of the property of [divorcing] litigants” through equitable division
- where judge has broad discretion, “it is important that a judge’s findings clearly indicate that [the judge] has weighed all” relevant considerations
- in case of first impression, we interpreted G. L. c. 208, § 34, to define scope of judge’s discretion
