What is Cohabitation and How Does it Affect Spousal Support in Virginia?
In Virginia, spousal support — commonly known as alimony — can be modified or terminated when the receiving spouse is cohabitating with another person in a relationship that is analogous to marriage. This means living together as a romantic couple on a continuing and permanent basis.
Simply showing that your ex is in a new relationship is not enough. Our cohabitation investigations Chesapeake VA team gathers documented evidence that clearly demonstrates:
- The two individuals are living together on a consistent and ongoing basis
- They share a residence as a romantic couple rather than as roommates
- The relationship is ongoing and intimate in nature
- Financial and domestic arrangements indicate a marriage-like partnership
This evidence supports a motion filed with the court or through your family law attorney to modify or terminate your spousal support obligation.
