Cohabitation...Alimony MSA

[BooBoo]

Why is it that living arrangements can hurt your award of alimony,but the ex(payee) can remarry and not have to count that as financial gain? I know the new spouse isn't punished for what her new spouse has to pay,but they know what they married and their obligations..Most of the time the new spouse along with the ex's have broken up families,in my case new spouse,my ex is their 3rd spouse...How can we address this to a judge,the unfairness of it???? By the way,I don't cohabitate with anyone.

Living arrangements can only affect you if there is a financially supportive relationship between you and your live-in. That is because alimony is based on "need" and a financially supportive relationship is based on need.
