In other words, if you are the spouse paying support to your Ex, does that obligation change if he or she remarries or starts seeing someone else? From a practical perspective, your Ex may be called upon justify continued spousal support from you, despite his or her cohabiting with or remarrying someone else.
Can a new spouse be responsible for alimony?
