Re: Alimony or Spousal Support
Does your Divorce Decree terminate your alimony obligation in the event of the death, remarriage, or cohabitation of your ex-spouse? There is likely some language that addresses conditions for the terminations of your alimony obligation. Look to the language of the Decree. In certain circumstances the Court that issued the Decree can consider changed circumstances (usually related to ability to pay) of the parties to modify its original order. Your application for a modification of the existing order would be with the the Court that entered the Decree. Hopefully this helps.
