What is the name of your state? Oregon

My SIL and his ex divorced in CA about three years ago. She got a great settlement; house and lots of $$ coming monthly. No kids at home. SIL now in OR and his ex just sold the CA house (part of the settlement) and moved to VA. Possibly with a new boyfriend. Not sure.

SIL wants to discontinue monthly payments. His lawyer says that won't fly, keep paying.

Apparently there are three basis or premises upon which alimony is set up and SIL did not do this right and has no basis to discontinue the payments. The divorce settlement says if she remarries, the payments stop.

Can anyone offer any suggestions, help or clarifications?
