Can you still receive alimony if you remarry?

[Edit]

Answer

No. It is customarily written into the divorce decrees that if the spouse who is receiving alimony (aka spousal support) re-marries, the support payments will cease.

Now, this does not happen automatically ... the spouse who is paying support must file in court to get this stopped - once the filing has been made, disbursing payments to the other will cease, but garnishments to wages will continue until the court hearing. Once the judgement has been issued in your favor, you will get back the monies back to the date you filed your paperwork to ammend the payments of spousal support.
