Do you still get alimony if you remarry?
Yes. The obligation to pay future alimony ends when the supported spouse remarries. The paying spouse doesn’t have to return to court—payments may simply stop as of the date of the marriage. The payor is entitled to reimbursement for all maintenance paid from that date forward.
Will my ex wife get alimony?
When a married couple divorces, either spouse can ask for spousal support under the Divorce Act. In most cases, spousal support is requested by the spouse with the lower income.
What determines the amount of alimony?
If the alimony is being paid on a monthly basis, the Supreme Court of India has set 25% of the husband’s net monthly salary as the benchmark amount that should be granted to the wife. There is no such benchmark for one-time settlement, but usually, the amount ranges between 1/5th to 1/3rd of the husband’s net worth.
Is spousal support based on income?
Alberta’s Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines offer formulas for deciding the amount and duration of support to be paid. The fact that one spouse earns more income than the other does not automatically mean that spousal support should be paid.
