Define co-habitation
My divorced ex-wife has a boyfriend who stays over 5 to 7 nights a week. This has been going on for over 6 months. My agreement states that I can stop paying my maintenace portion after 6 months of cohabitation. SO how does NYS define cohabitation????

Re: Define co-habitation
Co-habitation is normally defined as two persons sharing the sam primary address as evidenced by the totality of the circumstances: Do they get the mail delivered to the same address? Do they share living expenses? Rent? That sort of thing. If you believe there are grounds you can certainly file a request for a modification and then you can try and prove your case.
