I think that this question leaves out a whole lot of facts that are necessary to help give guidance. I am going to try and interpret this the best way that I can here. It sounds to me as if some one is trying to control you and your actions after you are divorced but I am not sure that you have understood in what way this is permitted and under what circumstances. A party can request that alimony or spousal support be terminated upon cohabitation with a significant other. Or a party can try and put in a sort of "morals clause" as to kids and cohabitation. But under no circumstances have I ever heard that some one could hold you hostage in a marriage unless you agreed never to ever live with some one else. That is holding you against your free will and your rights as a human being. Get some legal help in your area. Good luck.
