With an acrimonious divorce, having to deal with alimony can raise more issues between a pair of feuding soon-to-be exes. It’s worth remembering that alimony is solely meant to provide the former spouse with the same living standard he or she was accustomed to during the marriage until they can find employment. However, is it possible that an ex may deliberately withhold certain information to continue collecting alimony payments?

Though it can happen, Florida has statutes in place that allow a court to either change or terminate an alimony agreement if it can be proven that, for example, the spouse is now in a new relationship that is essentially a marriage, even if they aren’t legally wed. Some of the factors that may be taken into consideration include the length of time the couple has lived together, if there are any assets shared between them, or if they have collaborated on enhancing something considered valuable.
