defining co-habition

[BBW]

What is the name of your state?CA
My girlfriend resides at my residence. I am a contractor, working in various areas, commuting home as the job permits. I pay household expenses whether she is there or not. I do not contribute to her income, and she receives alimony. She is concerned that this would jeopardize her support. Any information would be apppreciated.

If her legal residence is your home, she is cohabitating with you. It has nothing to do with who pays what, it has to do with her legal residence.

responding to legal residence. She does not use my address for receiving mail. Guess I'm asking another question now. What constitutes legal residence?

**A: stop playing games. She lives with you, she is a legal resident there.

Not trying to play any game. Seriously, she may stay here whether or not I am home. She doesn't normally answer the phone, unless she is expecting a call, and does not list the address as a place of residency. So, what does the law recognize as her place of residence? The address used on credit file, DMV, voter registration, etc? Just asking.

Okay - when she DOESN'T stay at your home - where does she stay? And how often does she stay at your home?

But really, it's all moot. You said "My girlfriend resides at my residence." Do you understand what resides means? As in "lives there"? So she lives with you. Cohabits in your home.

stealth 2-OK, I should have been clearer on residing with me. She is here alot, and I am not! She comes over daily to feed my pets, does whatever in house duty areas, and does sleep here alot. She does claim that she lives with a roommate, and her worldly possessions are not at my home, just some clothes and makeup. Since she uses the moot point of NOT LIVING with me, does the fact that she is here more than she is not actually reflect on her permanent place of residence as reflected by the law. Thanks.

All I can say it this: if you marry her and she divorces you, I hope she soaks you the same way with the help of her new beau. Then you'll be here asking the same question you're asking now, only it will be to prove she's cohabitating so YOU can get alimony stopped.

Doesn't she have the easy life, sucking off both her ex husband and YOU!
