Ex-wife's new boyfriend enjoying your alimony checks? Read!

So your ex-wife is shacking up but will not get married because the alimony that you pay her will terminate upon remarriage. You do not want to keep paying her alimony because she is getting a windfall from her boyfriend and from her alimony payment.  Also, your spousal support payment may be helping her new lover.  You want to stop paying her alimony.  Can you?


As is usually the case in family law, it depends.  Your alimony lawyer will have to examine the facts around these changed circumstances and analyze your chances at alimony modification.  You may be able to pay her less in alimony, but you should not until you have a court order modifying alimony. If you stop paying, arrears, interest, and penalties will accrue, even if you are successful at modifying the spousal support.

You may also be able to modify alimony if you are making less money than you did at the time of the decree of divorce.  

It is imperative that you consult with a family law attorney in Las Vegas to discuss these possibilities and develop a strategy to modify or terminate your spousal support payments.
