Does a general alimony award terminate upon remarriage?

In Nebraska, a general alimony award generally terminates upon remarriage. This means that if someone is receiving alimony and then they get married again, the alimony payments will stop. This is because it is assumed that the new marriage will provide financial support for the recipient. However, there are cases where this does not apply. For instance, if the court has ordered a specific term, type, or amount of alimony, that order will not be terminated upon remarriage and the recipient will be expected to continue receiving alimony for the specified duration. Also, if an order specifically states that alimony will not terminate upon remarriage, then the alimony will still be paid even if the recipient gets married again. It is important to review the order to determine what the requirements are for the alimony recipient before making any decisions.
