Is alimony awarded if the recipient moves to a different state?

When it comes to alimony awards in Oklahoma, the answer to this question depends on the specific circumstances of the case. In some cases, the award of alimony may be determined by the laws of the state where the recipient resides after moving. In other cases, the Oklahoma court may still have jurisdiction over the alimony award, even if the recipient moves to a different state. For alimony awards that are determined by Oklahoma courts, the court may continue to enforce the award, as long as it is a valid order under Oklahoma law. The court may also be able to modify the award, if either party seeks a modification due to a substantial change in circumstances. For instance, if the recipient moves to a new state and gets a new job with a higher salary, the court may modify the alimony award to reflect the increased income. In cases where the alimony award is decided by the laws of the state where the recipient resides, the court in Oklahoma may not be able to continue to enforce the order. If the recipient moves to a state that does not recognize alimony awards from Oklahoma, the court in Oklahoma may be required to transfer the case to the court of the new state. Ultimately, the answer to this question depends on the specific circumstances of the case.
