Termination of Alimony Order

A Termination of Alimony Order is filed by a party seeking to end an existing alimony order. The party must demonstrate that a condition for termination, such as remarriage or cohabitation by the recipient spouse, has been met. Other grounds for termination may include the death of either party, the recipient spouse reaching retirement age, or a significant change in the financial circumstances of either party. The court considers the relevant factors, such as the specific terms of the original alimony order and any evidence presented by the parties, to determine if termination is appropriate. If the court finds that a termination condition has been satisfied, it will issue an order ending the alimony obligation. The termination of alimony is permanent and cannot be reinstated, even if the circumstances that led to the termination change in the future.
