Title

Alimony, termination upon remarriage or co-habitation, requirement of cohabitation with opposite sex removed, Sec. 30-2-55 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, any decree of divorce providing for periodic payments of alimony may be modified to provide for termination of these payments if the spouse receiving alimony remarries or openly cohabits with a member of the opposite sex.

This bill would provide for termination of periodic payments of alimony when the spouse receiving the periodic payments remarries or openly cohabits with another person, regardless of the sex of that person. This bill would specify that, for purposes of termination of periodic alimony, to cohabit means to live together as a couple in a continuing romantic or intimate relationship in the same manner as if they were married.
