The Minnesota legislature enacted a very important change to Minnesota spousal maintenance laws. The change became effective on August 1, 2016.
Under the new law, cohabitation is now grounds for terminating spousal maintenance. There are some factual tests that need to be met, but in very many cases (if not most) a party will be able to do so.
This means that if you are receiving spousal maintenance, you need to think very carefully about whether you want to move in with a significant other.
This also means that if you are paying spousal maintenance and your ex-spouse is living with a significant other, you should call me to talk about eliminating your spousal maintenance obligation.
I offer a free in-office case review. It is necessary that you bring a complete copy of your divorce decree to the meeting. Call me now!
