Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Wondering what to expect...
I am coming out of a 3-year marriage. I made most of the money. She has had numerous jobs, but has not worked in about a year. She left me and moved in with a single male neighbor down the road. We filed for divorce and I kept everything but the truck and 1 credit card. She dismissed the divorce. I refilled and took the truck because she didn�t want it. We filed both times as uncontested. We had a marital settlement agreement each time that was notarized.
She has now contested the divorce stating abuse and adultery. She states that she signed the settlement out of duress. I agreed to give her $500 a month for 4 months. This has now passed. I have also paid all bills except for the one credit card. She is asking for permanent and temporary alimony, along with me pay for all her legal fees. Would her living with another man be enough to dismiss the alimony requests?? She shared her bank account with him, worked on and bought things for his house and drove his car. We have a house, but there is very little if any equity in it. There would not be much if any equity in our belongings with the debt we have. I do not have the money for an attorney�s retainer.

Re: Wondering what to expect...

in georgia, a former wife's cohabitation with another man could serve to terminate rights to alimony.
