Reader Seeks Help in Unfair Alimony Technicality

cobbbiz@yahoo.com writes "I have a legal problem that I think is unconstitutional and I don’t have the resources or the knowledge to change it. I need help!:

I am paying $500.00/month in rehabilitative alimony to my ex-wife. She is now living openly with her lesbian partner. Her sexual orientation is the reason for the divorce. Under Alabama state law, the Statute concerning alimony states that it will be terminated if the recipient “cohabitates with a person of the opposite sex”. If my ex-wife were heterosexual and living with another man, the alimony could be immediately terminated. I am working what is equivalent to two jobs while my wife lives in one of the most prestigious areas of Alabama.
Is there any source of help? This could make right a poorly-written Statute and unjust ruling not only for me but for all men and in some cases even women."
