Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia
I live in Georgia. My ex committed suicide with 9 months left on alimony payments. He did have a life insurance policy but it didn't pay because he had it through his employer and recently started a new job and didn't have the policy long enough for it to pay. In your opinion, would a lawsuit against the estate be successful?

You haven't told us the information needed to answer you: (1) Did the court order have alimony terminate on death (which is the usual case) in which the answer is no? and (2) Does the estate have assets?
It depends on what the agreement or order said. Most settlement agreements state it ceases at the time of death. I suggest you take the agreement/order to an attorney and have it reviewed prior to filing against the estate.
