750 ILCS 5/510(c) is the law that applies. It says:
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in a written agreement set forth in the judgment . . . the obligation to pay future maintenance is terminated . . . if the party receiving maintenance cohabits with another person on a resident, continuing, conjugal basis. A payor's obligation to pay maintenance or unallocated maintenance terminates by operation of law on the date the recipient remarries or the date the court finds cohabitation began. The payor is entitled to reimbursement for all maintenance paid from that date forward. . . .
It is not something you should make the decision on yourself. The Court needs to make the determination in a motion brought on by you. Seek legal help. Good luck.
