I'm not sure of what you are asking, but I'll try to help.

Your ex was court ordered to pay alimony, has not done so and has been found in contempt several times, correct?

Your court order states that alimony will cease upon your remarriage, correct?

You want to know if the arrears will still be owed, and collectible after you remarry, correct?

If this is correct, yes the arrears will still be owed and collectible. Of course that is only for arrears accrued from before your remarriage.

I am glad you could interpret that because I was having issues.
