What is the name of your state? WA
Just found this site and discovered I am posting a very similar question to an earlier post from WA.... Hmmm, must be in the water... Anyway, my husband was divorced from his first wife Nov. 1998 and has been paying spousal maintenance ever since. We just found out that she remarried 5 years ago - to the guy she was living with while married to my husband - anyway, at the end of the spousal maintenance decree it says "the husband shall pay maintenance monthly until either the death of either party or 10 years from the date of entry of the Decree of Dissolution of Marriage". I'm obviously not well versed in the law and have always assumed that support ends with remarriage. Is that not true? I do not begrudge her anything owed her, it just doesn't seem right.
