Massachusetts Appeals Court July 19, 2002, No. 99-P-71 (Katz v. Katz)

Laurence, J.

Charlotte Katz appeals from a Probate and Family Court judgment that effectively terminated her alimony from her former husband, Nathan Katz, on Nathan’s second complaint for modification, by rapidly reducing it in periodic decrements from $450 per week to nothing over nineteen months. We conclude that this judgment reflected an abuse of discretion and remand.
