Legal Question in Family Law in California
I was married for 15 years and had to pay my ex alimony. She is now living with her boyfriend and they are trying to purchase a home. Am I still liable to pay alimony if she is living with a man?

It depends on the court order that was made ordering you to pay spousal support. The order usually specifies the events that will cause the obligation to terminate.

There is a family code section that raises a presumption that spousal support may be lessened due to the cohabitation that you reference. Please meet with an experienced family law attirney to explore your legal options.
