Divorced dads are learning to adjust to new and unfamiliar situations.
It’s unusual to have a reduction in alimony payments just because your ex has a live-in boyfriend.
Some men wish it were otherwise…
Afterall, if the new boyfriend is living in the home that you’re in effect “paying for” with your alimony payments…
Shouldn’t you have to pay less now that he’s in the picture and helping your ex out?
Richard Coffee, a divorce lawyer in Illinois says…
The impact of the boyfriend upon the spousal support will depend upon the terms of your divorce as to the type of spousal support and the reasons for the spousal support. The specifics as to when the cohabitation affects spousal support, and when you have to file with the court to end your support, vary by State.
So as a general rule, you most likely won’t get a reduction in alimony payments now that your ex has a live-in boyfriend…
But be sure to get quality divorce advice from a legal team to make sure. The particular terms of your divorce need to be explored carefully.
