Does alimony terminate if the payor remarries?

In Oklahoma, alimony, or spousal support, terminates if the payor remarries. This means that the obligation to pay alimony ends with a remarriage. However, alimony can still be paid if it is part of an existing court order and the obligation to pay alimony is not eliminated by remarriage. If the payor is remarrying, they should provide notice to the court and the other party of the upcoming remarriage. If the court decides that the payor has the capacity and financial ability to pay the court-ordered alimony, the payor may still be obligated to pay alimony even after remarriage. The court may also adjust the amount of alimony that the payor is required to pay. In some cases, the payor and the other party may agree to modify the terms of the alimony agreement upon remarriage. Such agreements will need to be approved by the court, and any modification must be in the best interests of the parties. Generally speaking, if the payor remarries, they will no longer be obligated to make alimony payments. However, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney to understand the specific laws regarding alimony in Oklahoma.
