What is the name of your state? Texas

I got married and divorce in Maryland. We have moved to different states. She is in Nevada and I am in Texas. She has been working for over 5 years. I have been paying alimony for over 10 years. There is no more child support. Here are my questions:
1. Do I go with law in Maryland, Texas, or Nevada in the duration of alimony payment?
2. When can I stop alimony payment?
3. I am currently unemployed and collecting unemployment payments. Do I have to make alimony payment?

The law of Maryland as that is where your alimony was set and at this point that controls.

2. When can I stop alimony payment?

When does your divorce decree state it stops?

3. I am currently unemployed and collecting unemployment payments. Do I have to make alimony payment?
Yes. Your divorce decree which orders you to make alimony payments doesn't provide for your unemployment does it?
