I have recently gotten divorced and my divorce decree gives my wife permanent spousal support. She is getting remarried in August and I need to know if I have to continue to pay her spousal support?

Does your divorce decree address remarriage?...if not, then yes, you need to continue to pay spousal support....or at least you need a consult with a local attorney.

If his state law determines that alimony ends upon remarriage, why would it need to be addressed in the decree? You being a woman of course prompts your answer that he must continue to pay alimony.

Bali, most states don't have statutes that address that issue.
