I think it really just depends on YOU.
Do you need that money to live?
Could you get by without it?
Hmm, that's $108,000 over the next 6 years.
If you can live without it, then I would cut all connections with the ex and get married if that is what you two are ready to do.
Money or not, it would seem odd to prevent your moving forward because it had something to do with your ex, no?
agreed.
I also think if tables were turned, one would probably be a bit PO'd to find his/her ex essentially *married* in spirit to another, yet collecting alimony as if not----I'm thinking that legally probably you couldnt/shouldnt be living together plus collecting it? On the other hand, it's supposed to be used to help you transition into going back to school/etc to be able to support yourself in future, so maybe I'm off base.
Anyhow, I think Sienna has a good point.
