Does alimony terminate if the payor remarries?

In Oregon, alimony will termination if the payor remarries. This is not always the case and it depends on the terms of the original order. If the original court order states that alimony payments will terminate upon remarriage or cohabitation of the payor, then alimony will terminate upon remarriage. In other cases, the court may order that alimony will continue regardless of remarriage. Both parties must agree to changes in the alimony order before it can be altered and it must be approved by the court. If the court finds that the payor is capable of providing support even after remarriage, then alimony payments can continue. Alimony payments will also end if either party dies or if the recipient remarries. If the payor dies, the court will not order the estate to pay alimony. Similarly, if the recipient remarries, alimony payments will end. An alimony order can be modified if there is a significant change in financial status or a change in the needs of either party. However, modifications cannot be made on the basis of the payor’s remarriage alone. The court must evaluate the situation and consider the best interests of both parties.
