remarriage after divorce
IN New York, after a speedy divorce,, if my ex remarries, does that automatically stop child support payments, or any other legal obligations to a minor child?

Of course not. The child hasn't got a new father. Child support continues until emancipation or the age of majority.

No. Child spport is a right of the child, not of the parent. The obligation to provide support is independent of of whether your "ex" remains single or subsequently remarries. The most common basis for a change in child support obligations rests upon a significant change in financial circumstances of either or both parents of the child, or the emancipation of the child or children.
