SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Termination of spousal support; cohabitation. Amends the 1997 provision that a court may decrease or terminate spousal support if the payee spouse has been cohabitating in a relationship analogous to marriage for one year or more unless otherwise agreed by the parties or the termination would constitute a manifest injustice. This bill makes the termination of such support mandatory by the court unless the parties have otherwise agreed or the termination would be unconscionable.
