Alimony and cohabitation?

My ex has had a serious boyfriend for 4 years. They have separate residences, spend most days overnight at each others places. They spend all holidays, vacations and events together. He recently paid for her vacation. Do I have any grounds to eliminate or reduce alimony paid to her based on this?

No, I am sorry, but you do not.

You only want to pay her alimony if she is single and unhappy? Mind your own business and stop worrying about her life.

Thank you for that well thought out legal advice. I appreciate the venom and willingness you have to share such insight. FYI- my ex refuses to contribute to our children's college, healthcare, vehicle or any other expenses.

Many parents do not contribute to those costs for their adult children. With the exception of health insurance, I would dare to say that perhaps even the majority of parents do not contribute to those costs.

Was there a stipulation in the court orders linking the alimony to her taking aa vow of... well, staying alone?

And the reason your ex was awarded alimony was... well, what? (I suspect that you were married a long time, and you weren't a model spouse.)

Then that should have been addressed by your attorney during your divorce. If that wasn't part of your divorce settlement then it makes no sense to complain about it now.

If your financial situation has changed you can usually go back to court for a modification, but of course that will cost you money. Generally, spousal support continues until the other party actually remarries (if that's in your agreement). Boyfriend-girlfriend relationships don't count for anything.
