Q: How long does alimony last if I choose not to marry anyone else?
A: There is no way to answer your question on such limited facts. A substantial amount of information is required and you really need to do this in person with an experienced matrimonial attorney.
A:
Thank you for your question. I know how worried you must be about your alimony.
The short answer is that more information is needed. What time of alimony were you awarded? In New Jersey there are different types of alimony that are awarded depending upon the specific circumstances of your case. Although the alimony statute was amended in 2014, any alimony awards entered prior to 2014 are governed by the prior alimony statute. It is important to protect your interests and have an experienced family law lawyer explain your rights to alimony and ensure your rights are protected.
I hope this information was helpful to you.
