To stop spousal maintence
We were married for ten years and divorced for, now 10 years. She is living with another man and our son is living with me, he is 21 years old now. I have been paying alimony for this duration and want to know when I don't have to pay her anymore?

Re: To stop spousal maintence
Hello. In my opinion, alimony should
have stopped when your ex began living
with the other man. The judgment of
dissolution of marriage should outline
when alimony ends. Generally the
term alimony is not used. Maintenance
is the legal term used in the Illinois
Compiled Statutes. You should act
quickly and certainly you will need
to consult a lawyer about the judgment. Will be happy to discuss
this with you further and in more detail.
