How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

considering the bonds between cohabitating partner and the alimony recipient’s family in determining whether relationship was tantamount to marriage
finding relationship was tantamount to marriage and thus constituted a substantial change in circumstance where supported ex-spouse and her live-in companion resided in the same home for twelve years, and purchased a home together
“Thus, the doctrines of law of the case and res judicata do not apply to those family court actions that are modifiable based on changes in circumstances.”
Questions concerning alimony rest with the sound discretion of the family court. An abuse of discretion occurs when the decision is controlled by some error of law or is based on findings of fact that are without evidentiary support.
