Please DO NOT type in all caps, it's considered yelling.

And YES, your fiance must continue to pay alimony/spousal support. It stops when the ex gets re-married, not when your fiance does, or when the court order says it stops.

Alimony supports the spouse, not the children.

The rights of the ex-spouse responsible for alimony payments depend on the relevant laws in the state where the divorce occurred. Though some states allow for termination of alimony upon the recipient-spouse's remarriage, statutes do not usually address the termination of alimony due to the payer-spouse's remarriage.

Alimony and child support are two separate issues, governed by two separate sets of laws and equity.

Yes, he will have to continue to pay alimony as ordered under the decree for as long as the court decided.

Alimony would be discontinued if she remarried.
