Cohabiting after divorce affects maintenance payments
DMH Stallard LLP United Kingdom June 11 2010
A recent case illustrates that cohabiting with someone else after a divorce may affect any maintenance payments received.
In the case, a man who had been ordered to pay his wife £125,000 a year in maintenance succeeded in persuading the Court of Appeal that the payment should be recalculated, after a private detective produced evidence that his ex-wife had set up house with another man and was expecting his child.
