Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Is there Virginia case law putting aside a Consent Order that says events of termination of spousal support shall not include cohabitation of payee by reason of payee's cohabitation?

Is there any benefit to establishing payee cohabitation after entry of a Consent Order that says events of termination of spousal support shall not include cohabitation of payee?

No, not that I am aware of, but one who has agreed to this kind of

condition via a consent order, might still, perhaps, argue that this

kind of condition should not be enforceable since such cohabitation

represents a violation of Virginia criminal law.
