Re: Divorce
I am assuming your husband's decree reads the same as most. His obligation to pay does not end until SHE gets married (or lives with a boyfriend). It doesn't matter if your husband marries you, he will still have to pay. If you think of it in a sort of old-fashioned way, he has to support her until someone else comes along to take care of her.
Re: Divorce
A spousal support order lasts until the obligee spouse gets remarried or cohabitates with another person of the opposite sex, or the payor dies. The order may also terminate on its own under the original orders.
Good luck.
As always please consult a qualified attorney in your area prior to taking action
