What is the name of your state? Florida
I live with my friend in Northern Florida since June 2005. We are not married or engaged, and I have a seperate room. My ex is trying to stop Lifetime alimony based on this. What legal right does he have to do this, given I am not married. ?
Thanks
Ron |

Thanks Ron | You'd need to post, word-for-word, exactly what your decree says on the topic of alimony.

Ron | He has every legal right to take this matter before the court and ask that his alimony obligation to you be terminated because you are shacking up tantamount to marriage on his dime.
If you want to play house, do it on your own or your "friends" money. |

| | | your husband still has the right to petition the court to see your relationship as a marriage. That is his right. It doesn't mean that the court will see it that way, or even address the issue. Personally, I agree with Bali, if the separate bedroom thing is just an act then your husband is being treated unfairly by you |

I don't believe her, Bali doesn't believe her...maybe a judge will? Maybe a judge won't.

Fla. passed a cohabitation statute not too long ago for these alimony milkers. It pissed all the feminists off too. 
This would be a good case to try it out on. |
