Cohabitation is not a straightforward area of the law. You should really consult with an attorney to understand whether cohabitation will impact your alimony award. You may certainly contact my office if you are interested in a consultation. 201-880-9770. Thank you!

it depends on the terms of your divorce, and the terms of the alimony. If the alimony was based on your living expenses, and your expenses are reduced no because of your live in partner, then it might affect alimony but your ex would have to go back to court to have that modified.
