Absolutely. If the marriage was over 10 years, I'd ask for the cohabitation period to be 12 months.

Yes, but each case is different and the answer may depend on the circumstances.

In California, there is no connection between cohabiting (shaking up) and ending spousal support unless that is a condition stated in the Judgment which would end spousal support. Absent the above, cohabiting is irrelevant, remarriage is.

You can ask. But why would the other Party agree to that?
