Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

My ex-wife and I have been divorced for over a year and a half now. It was a Florida divorce case. I live in Florida. She moved to Colorado shortly after the divorce.

Late last year she moved in with a man at his residence. In December 2010, she filed with the Florida court a letter stating her change of address to the new address (which is the man she is now living with home address). Is this document alone enough to prove cohabitation and go back to court to file a petition to terminate alimony? I have proof of his ownership of the residence in Colorado where she now lives and have had someone (PI) take photos of her vehicle parked at the residence at different time.

Please comment. Thanks.

If you have competent legal counsel, barring the unforeseen, I would think that might be enough. However, to avoid any surprises, I probably would want to take her deposition.

If you opt to proceed without the assistance of counsel, be aware that you will not be entitled to a �do over� if things go badly.

The above information is provided without any consideration/payment having been received, and without full knowledge of all of the facts.

An internet inquiry is no substitution for an in-office consultation with an attorney.

If your situation falls within the Greater Tampa Bay area, I would be happy to schedule you for a no obligation half hour office consultation. The main office is in Dunedin, with a satellite location in Tampa.

Feel free to Google me.

Good Luck, Elliot Goldstein
