Maybe someone out there can help me, two years ago I got a divorce and I've been wondering if someone can tell me about alimony and how it works, if there is a limitation on how long she can get it and so forth. Is it the same state by state or does it vary? I live in Northern Virginia and she lives in South Carolina. Any help or advice is appreciated.

You pay it until she gets married again, usually.However, if she gets a job whereshe is makingmore than the alimony payments, you may be able to go to court and get them stopped.

Ok, thank - you for your input that's pretty much what I thought. However, I heard that there is a limitation on how long she can get this, otherwise what's the point of getting remarried or a better job? Oh well, I can't afford to take her back to court any way right now so I guess I'm stuck.
