Q: I have to pay ex wife a lump sum alimony in payments over the course of 10 years. The first year I pay $350 every month
And after the first year alimony payments go up in price every year after that. Can I stop paying the lump sum alimony if she gets remarried?
A: No. Lump sum alimony is treated more like property division than periodic alimony. This cannot be modified and you need to treat this like you would the payment of a debt.
