Virginia Alimony Modification

Mine was able to get 50% of my TSP as of an agreed upon date. I paid her in 1 lump sum without penalty. Other than losing $140K.

Then she’s entitled to 1/2 of my retirement for only those years we were married while I was a fed. I was a fed for 11 of the 20 years we were married.

Hope this helps.

Everyone be glad you don’t pay your ex part of your military retirement pension each month like I do. Getting remarried has no bearing on if she’ll continue to receive it. Ex is currently engaged to remarry and she’ll get that money for life.

Virginia does not recognize civil union any longer. So my take is that unfortunately the answer is negative.

When does alimony expire?

Thanks for the feedback. Cohabitation is NOT mentioned in my agreement, but remarriage is. However, VA law does mention cohabitation.

“Upon order of the court based upon clear and convincing evidence that the spouse receiving support has been habitually cohabiting with another person in a relationship analogous to a marriage for one year or more commencing on or after July 1, 1997, the court shall terminate spousal support and maintenance unless (i) otherwise provided by stipulation or contract”.

My PSA is a contract so the otherwise provided statement supersedes the VA law. Unless the law sees “habitual cohabitation as synonymous with remarriage.

My separation agreement has “cohabitation or marriage.”

Unless she’s a total ding dong - I’d bet she spoke with an attorney also. This are is very state and even local dependent. It all comes down to what the local judge will rule.

People receiving free money contingent on them not getting remarried will not remarry.

Engagement is not marriage. It's a long shot, but it couldn't hurt to check that divorce agreement to see if "cohabitation" isn't mentioned.

PS never interrupt your enemy if she's making a mistake.

It might. I would absolutely consult an attorney. You'll have to be able to prove they're living together.
