Re: alamony
You are obligated to pay alimony as long as the support order says that you must. If your ex-wife is eligible for benefits, it may be possible to bring a motion to modify the support order based on the changed circumstances. You might be able to get it reduced or eliminated, but you still must comply with the order until changed by a judge.
You should see a local family law attorney to get more specific advice on all of the procedures.
