Re: Divorce allimony

Awards of spousal support (alimony) are very fact-sensitive determinations made by a judge.

Spousal support payments, if required, can continue until the death of the spouse, and can also be modified by a judge at any time upon a "material change in circumstances" of the parties, inluding re-marriage of the payee spouse.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
