PSA Mortgage Payments Stop Upon Cohabitation

In the case of Stacy v. Stacy, the Buchanan County Circuit Court held that, although the parties’ 2001 property settlement agreement in their divorce decree had wife waiving spousal support and husband continuing mortgage payments on the marital residence “for the benefit of wife … in the nature of support,” it could terminate husband’s mortgage-payment obligation upon wife’s admission to cohabitation under Va. Code § 20-109(A).
