When Does Alimony End?

Even though we handle a large amount of Alimony and Post Separation Support cases in Mecklenburg and the surrounding Counties, we also assist many clients with the termination and modification of Alimony. In North Carolina, the Termination of Post Separation Support and Alimony ends upon:

1. A date specified in a Court Order;
2. Death or remarriage of a dependant spouse;
3. The resumption of marital relations as defined by N.C.G.S. § 52-10.2;
4. Continuous Cohabitation evidenced by the voluntary mutual assumption of marital rights, duties and obligations which include but are not necessarily dependent on sexual relations.

Additionally, in North Carolina, Post Separation Support ends upon the awarding or denial of Alimony by a trial court.

It is important that an individual obligated to pay Alimony speak with a Divorce Attorney immediately if they believe their Alimony obligation should end, as his or her obligation will continue until a proper motion is brought before the court. Contact the Law Offices of David Sheehan at (704) 332-5858 and let us help you today.
