Greetings. Are you paying alimony pursuant to a court order or a separation agreement? Also, have you advised her that you plan to stop payments because she is cohabitating?

Alimony is being paid per separation agreement. I have not said anything about ending payments because of cohabitation. I am under the impression that because it is in the separation/divorce papers I am bound to it untilshe marries or time frame is up. Is there anything I can do to stop paying?
Does the separation agreement say anything about cohabitation?
Did you have an attorney assist you with the separation agreement?
Was the separation agreement incorporated into your divorce decree? Thank you.

I am divorced but paying alimony. Our papers say I am to pay monthly for 4 years or until she marries again. Since our divorce she has moved in with her boyfriend (and father of their baby). He pretty much takes care of all her finances and I don’t think she works and has not for about 8 months.
Is it worth the time and money to persue the idea being able to stop paying alimony since she has obviously moved on?
