One of the inequities about alimony is that Ms. Jones can move in with a guy who makes $500,000, and still receive the alimony, as long as she doesn't get married.
That is why in my divorce I put wording that stated if my ex established a long term relationship (common law) more than 1 year it would be deemed as a marriage and that support would be terminated. This was so that it would prevent my ex and her new boyfriend from ripping me off every month.
