Under existing law, an award of alimony is terminated upon petition of a party to the decree and proof that the spouse receiving alimony has remarried or is cohabiting with a member of the opposite sex.
This bill would amend existing law to clarify the definition of the term "cohabiting," and would provide that alimony may be terminated upon proof that the receiving spouse has either remarried or is dwelling together with another individual in a heterosexual or homosexual relationship.
