When do I no longer have to pay spousal support?

Questioner

Last year the divorce was pronounced by the judge. In this case there is an obligation of alimony from me to my ex-partner based on a situation that she lives alone. In addition, I have assigned the main residence for my daughter. My ex-partner now announces that she has given notice of her home and is temporarily moving in with her first partner. She states that this is temporary, but I have serious doubts about this. In addition, she indicates that she will move again in the long term and will move in with a friend, which will create a substantial distance between the daughter's main residence and the mother's new home. I pick up my daughter from mother once a week. Question 1: What legal conditions/requirements apply to, given the above situation, no longer have to pay spousal support given the mother's announcement that she is moving in with her first partner. For example, is there a minimum period that must be met before the spousal support comes into play? When do I no longer have to pay spousal support given this situation and when can I go back to court to formalize this? What are my rights in this and what do I need to achieve this? After all, my partner continues to insist that this is a temporary situation. Question 2: If my partner moves to a friend, a situation will arise in which I will have to travel substantially more kilometers (120 km return trip) (and costs) to pick up my daughter (in the weekend) if I pick up my daughter from my mother. Are there any conditions attached to the distance that my mother creates with her move and can I recover part of these costs or withhold them from the spousal support? Thank you in advance for your response!

If she moves in with her partner, the spousal support will expire. How long is temporary according to her? If this is 1 week, you could start a procedure in which you request the nil of the spousal support in connection with the cohabitation. Furthermore, she will not be able to simply move with your daughter, especially if you have authority. You indicate that your daughter's main residence is with you, but that after the move you will have to drive 120 km to pick up your daughter. A procedure can be started at the court in which it is requested not to grant the lady permission to go to the far-away location because this has an impact on the contact. If desired, I can assist you in both cases.
