Alimony modification


What is the name of your state?I did not mean to hijack someone elses post. I do apologize. Let me try again, in the appropiate manner.

What is the name of your state? Virginia
My ex and I have a Property Settlement Agreement which addresses alimony.
This PSA states alimony is to terminate upon my re-marriage or when our child turns 18. Alimony may also be reduced when I become employed. The PSA was incorporated, but not merged with the final decree of divorce. PSA signed in late 2004, divorce final earlier this year. It also states that this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed under the laws of VA on its effective date and no amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by both parties.

My question is, can this PSA be modified due to my boyfriend living with me?
From what I have read concerning VA law, if a judge sets alimony it may be modified or terminated. But if there is a PSA, signed before the divorce, alimony can not be modified, only enforced, by a judge. At this time, I do rely on alimony and CS to pay my bills and provide for my family and my boyfriend is unable to provide much support as he has his own prior obligations to his first family. I need to know where I stand on this issue.. Thank you.
