What if the recipient remarries or starts living with someone?
Upon remarriage, maintenance terminates. If the recipient starts legally cohabitating with someone, the maintenance terminates upon the judge finding that the recipient and his or her significant other are living together on a resident, continuing conjugal basis. Whether the recipient is “legally cohabitating” with another person is a fact-intensive inquiry that require consideration of the frequency with which they reside together, whether they pool resources and share expenses, and whether they are romantically linked, among other factors.
