Your divorce agreement is a contract and the terms if the contract are - for the most part - negotiable. If you are getting spousal support then cohabitation will be the catalyst to payments stopping. Your spouse seems to be trying to protect the children here. How you decide - agreeing or not agreeing - should be discussed with your lawyer. Good luck.
