Question

Help answer this question below.

I pay my ex alimony and she has been living with someone for the majority of the past year. He still maintains a "legal" residence at his parents house. I can prove he lives there full time, my son lives with them. Can I get the alimony stopped?

    Not sure which country you are in , England you have a chance of having alimony stopped for the wife obviously you will still need to support your child.
    You will need pretty good proof of his fulltime residence the fact she has a boyfriend does not prove he is either living with her or supporting her

    It depends upon the state that you live...in Florida it is unlawful to obtain alimony while cohabiting, but the key is proving whomever she is living with contributes to the expenses. Child support continues of course. We are working in Florida to eliminate ALL alimony.

    Alimony does not only benefit the wife. The logic behind alimony is sound, although some courts do no implement the policy very well.

    The purpose behind alimony is to ensure the bread winning spouse does not have an unfair advantage upon dissolution. If a married couple chooses to have one spouse not work, that creates a severe disadvantage to the non-working spouse upon dissolution. Thus, it makes sense to force the working spouse to support the non-working spouse for a period of time so that she can gain experience in the workforce.

    What should be changed is child support laws. The non-custodial parent should have to support the child, but too often the custodial parent benefits from the child support than the child. In fact, I think this is a leading reason why some fathers don't want to pay child support.

    My present husband went through the same thing with his ex-wife. She lived with her boyfriend for a year and he was still ordered to pay. He had to continue to pay until they got married. If you have a court order, be sure to read it carefully to make sure it says when you are able to stop payment. Also make sure you document everything as it will help you out in the long run.

    I'm in the US. Not concerned about the child support, there's no question there. This is about alimony only. They have been living together for awhile, that's no secret, but to keep my alimony coming she'll swear he doesn't live there but has all of his stuff there and has spent every night there since the end of July 2006 when they moved into a house together. In my divorce papers it say if she cohabitates with someone for more than 1/2 a year (183 days) which he has, alimony can stop, but his "legal" residence is his parents address. Can I prove this with a notarized statement from my son? What other options do I have? Any thoughts?
