    Default Can You Terminate Spousal Support if Your Ex- is Cohabitating Without Marriage

    My wife and I divorced and she was awarded alimony. Her alimony ends if she remarries. She has a long-term boyfriend and they live in the same house, but she isn't marrying him because that will cut off the money.

    Can I get spousal support ended anyway? Can I sue her for damages for not getting married? We're in North Carolina.

    Default Re: Can You Terminate Spousal Support if Your Ex- is Cohabitating Without Marriage

    You can't sue your ex- for not remarrying.

    You can't use a provision of a divorce judgment that terminates spousal support on remarriage to try to stop spousal support without an actual remarriage.

    Depending on the full terms of your divorce judgment, perhaps you have a basis to have a court review the award for changed circumstances. We can't advise you about that without more information, so I suggest that you have a family lawyer in your state review the judgment and advise you.
