The most common means of terminating alimony is the remarriage of the spouse receiving support. This is usually automatic and is included in the divorce decree.

Occasionally alimony agreements are structured to terminate after a specific time, such as one half of the duration of the marriage. Temporary and rehabilitative alimony structures end when a certain milestone is reached by the recipient, such as earning a degree or gaining employment.

The supporting spouse can petition to terminate alimony payments should their former spouse’s income reach a point where they can adequately support themselves. Other instances include a sudden financial windfall (inheritance, lottery winnings, etc.). Should the supporting spouse face a long-term financial crisis of their own, they may petition to reduce or terminate alimony payments.

Our team of family law attorneys can help you determine if termination is appropriate and guide you through the process.

“Tina Roddenbery is one of the finest lawyers I have worked with as her client in my divorce, and also in comparison to many attorneys I worked closely with as a professional businessman for 40+ years. She is patient, thoughtful and she keeps you informed all along the process. Her years of experience are apparent, she seeks to understand your needs and she cares about you as a person. Highly recommend Tina without reservation as a divorce attorney, a mediator or on any Family law matter.”

“A friend referred me to this firm and I had a fantastic experience. John Collar, Richard Nolen, Meagan Hanson, and Julianne Spurlin were all easy to work with, very communicative, timely, and they worked hard to achieve very fair results. From my first conversations with Mr Nolen I was reassured that while family law involved compromise, we could come to a fair agreement. John Collar then handled my case and his confidence, wisdom, and experience were very comforting during this stressful process. Meagan Hanson, whom I understand is now a Georgia State Senator did a lot of the ground work. Julianne is the behind-the-scenes rockstar, and like many paralegals, she is the unsung hero of the case. I can’t really comment on price. How do you put a price on peace of mind and more time with your family? I would retain this legal team again in a heartbeat but I hope and pray that I never have to do so!”

“Jonathan Tuggle is an excellent lawyer. He worked through a very difficult divorce case with me and helped turn our ship around from going in the wrong direction. We had many complicated family /custody issues which needed to be addressed. I appreciated their ethics while working this tedious process. Jonathan was extremely communicative and detail oriented throughout the entire process. I am very happy I hired this firm and would absolutely recommend them if you are in a difficult or high income divorce case.”
