Ladies - Wear Pants in Massachusetts! (at least until the law is changed)

The Massachusetts state legislature will undoubtedly rectify this issue expeditiously.  Still, I am somewhat surprised that the high court there applied the plain language of the law so meticulously here.  I'm unaccustomed to such practices in Alabama; and, I doubt the same result would have been reached here.  Kudos to the Massachusetts court for abiding by the separation of powers.

I would add however that fault-based grounds for divorce (e.g., adultery) can affect the "even split" referenced by the author.
