Asset Protection Tips: How to Handle Cutting Off Alimony if Your Spouse Has Moved On

If you were party to an alimony arrangement where the other spouse has received benefits, it’s not uncommon for circumstances to change over time. Alimony recognizes that one party should be receiving support and that another party is responsible for providing it, usually for a set period of years or until certain conditions are met. shutterstock_263038649

Post-divorce, however, your former spouse might move on to another relationship. If he or she is now cohabitating with that other person, your alimony could be dropped. It can be challenging to demonstrate these issues in court, but it is possible. Many courts lack a standard definition about this, but evidence could include social media disclosures, shopping patterns, property maintenance records, cell tower records. These could be used to demonstrate that your spouse is living with someone else.

Modifying an alimony award could significantly impact your financial circumstances and asset protection. It may be in your best interests to discuss your situation with a family law attorney if you believe that your alimony award should end; for more complicated asset protection strategies for those funds once you are no longer responsible for making alimony payments, you should consult with your estate planning and asset protection professional.
