How do you go about proving co-habitation in order to stop paying alimony?
Is this somethihg that can be done on my own or do I need to hire someone to get the required proof? The divorce has been settled but the alimony amount is ridiculous and I need to be able to stop paying it becuase I can’t afford it. My ex-wife refuses to work and hasn’t done so in over 30 years. When is the best time to proceed?

The best way to try and get some resolution with your question and the alimony issue with your former wife is for you to consult with a family law attorney. If your former spouse is living with another person and is getting some semblance of "support" which would possibly allow you to get your alimony obligation reduced, the best way to get such proof is to hire a private investigator to do a background check on your former wife and begin to develop a factual basis for a motion to reduce your alimony obligation.
It is best to have the private investigator work with your attorney hand in hand from a practical aspect.
