Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I was divorced in 2008 and me ex-wife was awarded permanent alimony until she remarries. She has been living with a man since 2009 in a relationship that is tantamount to marriage. They are open about the relationship but she has mentioned to several friends that they will not get married because she would have to forfeit alimony payments.
Do I have any legal recourse?

Yes. You will have to prove this to the court and seek modification of the court order.

Yes - you will have to hire an attorney to accomplish this. You will need to subpoena records and prepare to battle in discovery. Once it is proved that she is living off his income, or vice versa, you will then have a case to terminate the alimony.
