The termination of spousal support can also be impacted upon where
you live. Generally, spousal support will terminate
upon the death of either party. However, in most
counties spousal support can also terminate upon
the remarriage of a party or the receiver of
spousal support cohabitating with an unrelated
person in a manner tantamount to marriage. Not
all counties believe that spousal support should
be terminated upon remarriage or upon cohabitation. Proving cohabitation
is not nearly as easy as it might sound. The key is showing that it
is tantamount to marriage. Many people believe that is an easy thing
to establish, but it is not and someone should not naturally assume
that because their ex-spouse has a boyfriend or girlfriend that it
automatically means that their spousal support is going to be terminated
with easily.
