What constitutes ‘Living together’ under S.C. State law in a divorce

I am divorced and receiving alimony. Could my ex claim I am living with another man if he stays at my house 4 days a week, but has his own residence and stays there 3 days a week?

What you are concerned about is a finding of "continued cohabitation" that could termniate alimony under the law in South Carolina.  While I urge you to seek consultation from an attorney in your area on your specific facts and the case law of the state, from my understanding it is practically impossible to prove the 90 day continuous cohabitation when parties own separate residences in order to terminate alimony.  Good luck.
