A response from a source closely tied to the case...
In July of 2004, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled on this case, and sided with the family of Dr. Cohan, awarding the Plaintiff - Barbara Cohan, the person who sued for continued alimony - absolutely NOTHING.
Dr. Cohan did have two teenage children (15 and 18) at the time his estate was sued, and the money she was going after was to be inherited by his children. The money used to pay lawyers to fight her off for 8 years (1998-2004) also came out of their inheritance.
Dr. Cohan did not have an illness - he died quite suddenly as a matter of fact.
"He must really have been a bastard for her to stick it to him like this."
No, he was not.
"Some guys (like myself) get stuck with a blood-sucking evil witch of an ex"
Yes, she was.
