To keep things simple; my ex and I negotiated a Separation Agreement earlier this year where I have agreed to pay a fixed sum of SS per month for an indefinite period (long term marriage). The amount can be adjusted based on material change in circumstances (not defined in agreement), and it is up to us to negotiate when such a condition has happened.
The obvious ones (dramatic change in income, sickness, etc) would be fairly straightforward however I have heard that her new BF has moved into her home with her and that he also have a very good job.
Does this generally constitute a material change in circumstance? My ex (who is not very reasonable) would a) never admit or disclose this and b) her last comment on the subject of SS is that I should be paying her even more now that she has lost her permanent job, however she is working on a part time basis now.
Any advice would be appreciated before I decide how to proceed with my lawyer. Thanks all!
