spousal support question


What is the name of your state? Indiana

First of all my Ex lives in Oklahoma and that is where the divorce was. She is engaged to be married. She is not living with him yet, but is telling me that all of the mail should be sent to his home. I don't believe I should be sending child support checks and Alimony checks to that address if she does not live there. If she is using that as her mailing address, does that constitute co-habitation? After 90 days of that, shouldn't that be grounds for ending spousal support?


Thank you for your help.

It could help you prove cohabitation but the only person who can determine if it is is a judge.

Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship. The devil is in the details after all.

Do your divorce papers address grounds for ending spousal support? Do they term the support as "modifiable"?????

Well we don't know how the alimony was decided.

Do you believe that OP's ex-wife or her attorney would have made certain there were any provisions to end alimony in the decree?

For that matter do you believe if a judge ordered alimony there would be any provisions in the decree to end it sooner. I think not.

Just because it's not in the decree, under circumstances prescribed by LAW, It CAN be modified.

OP just has to make certain that he doesn't appear before the same boneheaded judge who ordered it in the first place.
