Committed Relationship vs Marriage

04/23/07 03:34 PM

I thought I was through with this horror after our MSA was accepted by the court this month (Apr). Three days later x wants to talk to me about a toolbox. Turns out she really wanted to let me know about her “committed relationship” and that her significant other would be living and paying rent in the home I quitclaimed to her in October. During this past weekend with my adult children (DD 27, DS 25), I was informed that the significant other (her former boss and now coworker) was in fact living in our home at the same time that we were negotiating the settlement – a fact that x conveniently left out of our recent conversation, as well as leaving it off of her signed disclosure statement. She also asked the children not to tell me about this arrangement. Making our children party to her deception causes me the greatest anger of all. Our MSA states that I will pay spousal support until I am 65 (16 more years), until one of us dies, or until she remarries. It also states that the agreement is unmodifiable. California Family Law Code states that cohabitation is prima-facie evidence that decreased spousal support is warranted.

I do not want the former love of my life and the mother of my children to suffer, but I do want to protect any rights I may have to decrease my obligation. Can cohabitation be equated to marriage in determining spousal support obligations? Any opinions on where the just and moral ground is regarding this matter?
