My daughter divorced her husband 3 years ago and receives alimony and child support. She and her children (15 and 13) continue to live in the house she and her ex-husband purchased when they married.
Her divorce agreement states that she cannot live in that house with another man while she receives alimony payments. If she does, he can withhold his alimony. Part of her alimony is required to maintain the house expenses and mortgage. Her current working income cannot cover these expenses without the alimony contribution.
It doesn’t seem logical that he has the legal right to dictate where or with whom she can cohabitate. He no longer has equity in the house because I gave him a check for the full amount of his equity one year after their divorce.
Am I correct in my opinion that he cannot withhold his alimony if she decided to live with another man in her house?
