Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Re: Cohabitation in FL

Most lawyers would advise you to stop the payments now and start putting the money into a savings account and to file your lawsuit for termination of alimony. If you win your lawsuit, you've got a little extra savings. If you lose your lawsuit (because she gets away with saying, "We're just roommates," or some other lying nonsense), you won't go to jail because you'll be able to immediately give her the back money owed.

By the way, there is also a statute that allows you to stop paying alimony if she's living in a "financially supportive, cohabitating" relationship, so you ca rely on both the statute and your MSA when you file your lawsuit to terminate alimony.

Another thing: get a lawyer. We've very good at beating the "roommate" defense because we've developed a series of methods of proving when someone is and when someone isn't just a roommate. You'd be surprised.
