GreatDadAlways Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I never imagined that life after a devastating divorce would be so great. I have remarried with the support of my wonderful children and they have commented on how happy I am. During the hell I truly thought my children were taken from me emotionally. But as so many have told me ... they figure things out and realize who is there for them. With that said, I still have an enormous amount of spousal support over my head. My ex has moved on but her significant other is unemployed and a medical mess. Claims they aren't cohabitating because he has no income other than disability. Yet they have told my youngest that they won't marry until she is in college. Hmm, that sure is convenient timing ... translated to "We won't marry until your dad's money runs out.". By the way ... the disability is a scam too as he is constantly working on her (their) house. I have evidence of cohabitation because I see medical supply deliveries at her home. More recently, she asked me to switch weekends because they have a "family" event. Turns out the family event is a fund raiser she sponsored for her bf. Anyone know how much evidence it takes to terminate spousal based on cohabitation? I'm tired of the fraud so any thoughts would be helpful. Link to post Share on other sites
MJJean Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 It depends on state law. In some places, cohabitation can reduce or end alimony. In others only remarriage works. So, talk to a lawyer. Link to post Share on other sites
Marc878 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Definitely worth a good lawyer visit. Mouth shut, eyes and ears open Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 So, talk to a lawyer. Definitely worth a good lawyer visit. Amen, not a question for the peanut gallery and the outcome may even depend on your lawyer's expertise. Spend a little to save a lot... Mr. Lucky Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Peach Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I would consult with a lawyer too. FWIW I had a cohabitation clause in my divorce agreement (I paid alimony) and my lawyer told me the best way to fight it in my area is to hire a private detective, gather photo and other evidence, etc. Every area is totally different in this are though which is why I would do a quick consult.

standtall Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Lawyer up! Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yes, lawyer up. I was going to say report his benefits cheating to the authorities, but causing him to lose income may be harmful to your case, so I'd put that one on ice for now. Link to post Share on other sites
