Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

spousal support

My husband was married to his ex-wife for 1 year and 6 months. She was awarded spousal support and there is no indication of when it stops. Both of them are employed through the military and I am not quit sure I understand why she is still entitled to spousal support.She is now remarried. How can we go about having the spousal support stopped or can it be stopped?

If she has remarried you should be able to go to the court to remove the spousal support.

Re: spousal support

Yes, a motion needs to be filed in the Virginia Circuit Court where your husband's final decree of divorce from his former wife was entered to :

(1). Reopen the divorce case and

(2). Terminate the spousal support(alimony)that was ordered due to the remarriage of the recipient ex-spouse.
