What happens if my former spouse remarries or cohabits after the alimony order is entered?
Unless the parties have agreed to make the alimony order non-modifiable, the recipient’s right to receive alimony is terminated by the recipient’s remarriage or cohabitation with a person of the opposite sex who is not a member of the family of the recipient. This is unlike the situation with regard to alimony pendente lite. Remarriage or cohabitation does not bar the right to receive alimony pendente lite.
