HB 1059 -- Alimony and Maintenance Sponsor: Goodman This bill allows courts to enter orders relieving an individual of the obligation to pay alimony and maintenance to a former spouse if the former spouse is cohabitating with another person in a relationship of a romantic nature. The bill also repeals current law that requires associate circuit judges to be assigned those cases in order to hear them, which allows associate circuit judges to hear dissolution cases without special assignment.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
