Re: Cohabitation? Grounds to terminate Alimony?

You're going to have an almost impossible time getting "non-modifiable" alimony terminated. Even if she gets married again, wins the lottery, etc. It's going to be ... he agreed to this back then so what's his beef now? Presumeably, he believed this was a good deal for him at the time or he'd not have signed off on it and the judge is going to say that job losses & such asre reasonably forseeable so he can't let this buyer's remorse get him out of this part of his deal. Also, they'll say that she agreed to the property settlement and other issues with the understanding that THIS was the alimony arrangement and for him to try to change that when he's not willing to go back and re-negotiate to give her more property is unreasonable.

Basically, with VERY few exceptions, you're going to find that Non-modifiable really means non-modifiable.

Let us know if the judge agrees that your husband's situation is one of the exceptions.
