New Jersey A1576 allows courts to modify alimony awards based on the cohabitation of the supported spouse.

New Jersey A1576 amends the state's alimony laws to enable courts to modify alimony awards when the supported spouse begins cohabiting with another person. The bill defines cohabitation as a mutually supportive, intimate personal relationship in which a couple has undertaken duties and privileges that are commonly associated with marriage or civil union but does not necessarily maintain a single common household. The court must consider specific factors when assessing whether alimony should be modified, suspended, or terminated due to cohabitation.
