My friend is inquring on how he could get out of paying is ex wife alimony payments. We viewed on the net "whether the obligation terminates upon the death or remarriage of either spouse (termination of the obligation indicates the obligation was for support)". Does this mean that alimony payments can be discharge if either parties gets remarried?

At the last hearing the judged order him to pay for alimony because he refuses to pay for a truck that they purchased while they were married. Is that right? Can they put a judgement on him for that? Can he file for bankruptcy for this type of alimony?

Nice try, but no, that's NOT what it means. Simply put, the obligation MAY be discharged upon remarriage but ONLY if the party receiving the alimony is remarried and ONLY if the alimony award so stipulates.

I don't know if it's right or not, but it's legal.

Can they put a judgement on him for that?

For what? Not paying? And who is this THEY?

Can he file for bankruptcy for this type of alimony?

Sure he can, but he'll still have to pay it.

Why does it say either parties?

What is the truck, The truck they purchase because he told her that he could afford it and for her to take it. THEY are the Courts or Judge.

Sure he can, but he'll still have to pay it.

She also stated under oath that she took money from him while he was at war and while getting a divorce. Estimated $12,000.00. Can he sue her for that money that is owed?

Of course he can. And since they were married how is he going to combat the 'marital property' claim she will use?

That is what I told him. What if he made an agreement with her that the money that she stole from him she could use that toward the truck that she and him purchased. I forgot to mention. When the judge asked her what she did with the money she said she it is all gone. Than the judge asked for all receipts purchase with the money that was taken. She has yet to follow up on that. Can he do something about that?

Listen, I have no idea. This is a marital problem that requires your friend sit down with an attorney who can review ALL relevant facts and court records.

Trying to re-litigate this on an internet forum is useless.
