CAN MY EX-HUSBAND GET SPOUSAL SUPPORT FROM ME AFTER HE REMARRIED?

QUESTION: My ex husband is suing me for spousal support after we have been divorced for 13 yrs. We both remarried and he divorced again and expects me to pay spousal support. He owes me $60,000 in back pay child support and now is on disability. Can he get an order requiring me to pay spousal support to him?

MY RESPONSE:

Unless the divorce judgment provided that Spousal Support jurisdiction will continue after remarriage of the payee (which is highly unlikely), your husband can't get Spousal Support.

Long term Spousal Support is customarily payable until the death or remarriage of either party.

However, don't ignore an Order to Show Cause (OSC); if one is served on you, retain (or at least consult with) an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you to oppose your ex-husband's OSC, to ensure that the Court receives appropriate evidence reflecting your husband's remarriage (which would have terminated Spousal Support jurisdiction).
