 Depending on the ruling of the court, an alimony order can be for a set number of years or even life. In order to modify spousal support, whether that be alimony or post-separation support, significant changes are normally necessary. The termination of an alimony order is automatic upon the death of either party, remarriage of the dependent spouse, or cohabitation by the dependent spouse. That being said, what determines cohabitation in North Carolina?
According to North Carolina state law, cohabitation requires:
It is important to take notice that, although the court requires two people to essentially be living together in order to terminate an alimony order, that does not mean that they must be retaining the same residence. The dependent spouse and third party may each retain a separate residence and still be considered living together. The second criteria the court will look to is whether the dependent and third party act like a married couple. There are numerous facts considered by the North Carolina courts. There is no one item that is required or determinative. Some factors considered in determining cohabitation:
Although cohabitation is defined by statute, it is often a source of litigation in court. Seeing as the dependent receiving alimony has an incentive to alter behavior to avoid losing their monthly check, these types of cases may get a bit grey at times. This may include keeping a separate residence, limiting the nights spent together per week, not keeping their belongings at the other party’s place, not getting engaged, etc. This behavior can make it quite frustrating for the person ordered to pay. Often, testimony from a private investigator, phone records, and bank records help to establish cohabitation.

PRO|TEAMhacker is a true lifesaver!([email protected]) I was trapped in a relationship with a narcissistic partner who was constantly gaslighting me. I reached out to this team to help me have access to my partner phone for all the evidence i desperately needed after hearing about their exceptional reviews on Instagram and other platform. Their work is nothing short of miraculous. They uncovered a web of deception that my partner had woven around me, and the evidence they provided was heart-wrenching yet necessary. Their commitment to helping me find the truth was inspiring, and it ultimately gave me the strength to confront my partner and reclaim my life. I am forever grateful for their support during this challenging chapter of my life.

([email protected]) PROHACKER TEAM are true heros in my life story. I was entangled in a relationship with a narcissistic cheater, and I couldn't trust my instincts anymore. This team expertise on Gmail unveiled the shocking truth about my partner's infidelity. What touched my heart deeply was their unwavering support and understanding throughout this ordeal. They not only helped me gather the evidence I needed but also provided emotional comfort when I needed it the most. Thanks to ProTeam, I broke free from that toxic cycle and am now rebuilding my life with a renewed sense of self-worth.

Thank you LORD KRISH for manifesting my work within 24 hours as you promised. I have come online to say that I am happy to have met Lord Krish who help me in getting back my ex wife who left me for a wealthy man because she wants to have expensive things. I met Lord Krish and he helped me with a love spell and she returned to me within 24 hours of contacting Lord Krish. After 5 months of struggling with emotional heart break, I am finally happy to have my love back in my life. I never believed love spells are very true until I met Lord Krish and it was also through same testimonies. I promised Lord Krish I would share his name on the internet to bring people to him. Contact Lord Krish to see his manifestation in your marriage at his EMAIL: [email protected] Leave a Reply. |
