While the terms of the Decree of Divorce may alter this answer, Section 30-3-5(9) of the Utah Code provides as follows:    (9) Unless a decree of divorce specifically provides otherwise, any order of the court that a party pay alimony to a former spouse automatically terminates upon the remarriage or death of that former spouse. However, if the remarriage is annulled and found to be void ab initio, payment of alimony shall resume if the party paying alimony is made a party to the action of annulment and his rights are determined. (Website for the statute is provided in the sources.)\n\nIn English:  The annulment will reinstate the obligation to pay alimony, if the paying spouse is made a party to the annulment action.\n\nFor more information on the standards for annulling the marriage, see Section 30-1-17.1, which sets forth the grounds for an annulment in the State of Utah.  (The web site is also attached.)

If he was still married when he "married" you, your marriage may be invalid and you won't need a divorce. See a lawyer- laws vary by state.

My goodness but Yes he can get in trouble for this. If you have papers that state the two of you are LEGALLY MARRIED by a Court of Law ( be it by a minister in a church or a Judge at the court house), he can not marry, another woman while still married to you. From everything I have heard, Read it is still considered Illegal and many states have a Bigamy Law that they use to stop Polygamy ( cohabitation where one man is married to more than one woman under the same house ). Utah is the only state I know that still allows the practice of Polygamy and Bigamy. In fact they pretty much go out of their way to TURN the other CHEEK so to speak and not see what is going on.\n I would find myself a good attorney and discuss this with him/her. You need to protect your rights and the rights of your child. If you are not legally separated, not working on getting a divorce then he is breaking the law.\n\nI hope you find your answers and hopefully get out of this situation before it gets worse! Good LUCK!

Ask your lawyer. It all depends on the situation with the trust and the conditions of your divorce.

Please reiterate your question . . . to . . . I called it quits this morning?  Because he want to try to make it work . . . and you are trying to decide yes or no.\n\nI have a few questions about this . . . \n\nWhy did he cheat on you . . . . ?  There is always a reason.  Did you two marry too young?  Did you change?  Did he change?\n\nIf you feel that you can not trust him . . . then end it . . . and tell him why.  He may still love you . . . but the thing is . . . he might have felt that you kept pushing him away . . . and he felt lonely.  And guys has needs . . . so instead of bothering you about them (because he felt that you possibly didn't care) he went elsewhere.\n\nThe most basic reason why some people cheat . . . is because they felt pushed away.  I know that is not a good reason . . . \n\nPlus if you stay married for at least 10 years . . . he will have to pay you alimony for the rest of your life or until you remarry.

Spousal support is another term for alimony, usually money paid to the non-working spouse for a time until they are able to find a means of support.

I'll answer the last question first... no he cannot stop maintenance payments. Whether he see's the children or not, they are still his children and must provide for them, which includes covering the cost of food, clothing, education and the roof over their heads. However depending on your circumstances (new marriage, wage increase etc) he may not have to pay maintenace for yourself.\n\nBack to your first question, if he wishes to go against any arrangement which is already in place, and you feel that it is detrimental to the health and well being of the children you should approach either your own lawyer (or the court if this is where the agreement was arranged) and get this sorted under legal process. \n\nAt the end of the day though, the court will try and impose an arrangement which is in the best interests of the children AND which is reasonably amicable. You mention 1 night midweek is OK but not 2 nights midweek .. because of their school, you would need to explain why that extra night would be detrimental. \n\nAt the end of the day the only thing you can WIN in court on your childrens behalf is maintenance, no court can FORCE someone to see their children, I would suggest you sit down first and talk this through, and have a practical look at the effects of any arrangements on your children. And being practical does require you both to look at your working schedules too.

I divorced her because she cheated on me.  When she started threatening to sue me for alimony I told her that if she continued to push the issue I'd send a copy of her letter to the judge, the one where she admitted committing adultery.\n\nWhere she lives, if you are caught or proved to have committed adultery you go to jail.  That was how I over rode Bess.

Most of answerers have no idea.\nIn most states the cause of the divorce doesn't make any difference.  Cause is so subjective, the courts don't want to deal with it. A lawyer may make a difference in a complicated case but usually it comes down to the numbers.\nHow long you were married.\nHow much money do you both make.\nHow many children do you have.\nBased on this information the judge uses a standard calculation to determine the amount of child support and/or alimony.\nI have been through the system and pay both child support and alimony.  The alimony is usually for a defined period on time depending on the duration of the marriage and difference in earning power. \nNo system is perfect.\nIf you think it is unfair for you, go to see a couple of lawyers for a quick consultation about modification of the court orders.\nMy experience is often the costs associated with the proceedings are not worth any gain you may get.\nYou could do it yourself but be aware that your ex maybe get you to pay her attorney fees if the judge believes your case was not reasonable.\nI suggest you ask yourself if you are comfortable at the moment financially, if you are, it's probably better to do nothing.  If not, then at least talk to a couple of lawyers.\nGoodluck.

It typically depends on how much she makes. If she makes $15,000/year and he makes $100,000/year, she could file for and receive alimony. \n\nAlimony (from what I understand of it) is based on the idea that the spouse got used to a certain lifestyle during the marriage and now feels that he/she should be entitled to some money to get on his/her feet after the marriage ends.

Most states won't let you terminate parental rights unless the other person is remarried and their new spouse wants to adopt the child.Children can not be left "fatherless",at least this is what my lawyer told me.Even if his rights were terminated,he is still responsible for child support unless someone else adopts the child.

Under California law it does not matter how long you have been together regarding child support. It depends on how much each of you make and who gets custody. If you are the primary care giver, your child support is going to be paid according to how much time your ex-spouse spends with the kids. Also unless he adopted the child that is not the spouses biological child he does not have to pay any thing for the one child. As far as alimony goes once again it depends on income but since you have been married for 9 years you will only get it for four and a half years. The calculations are different from county to county as are some of the laws.

you should be able to get this information from an attorney. i am canadian and i married a brit here in canada. we got a very easy divorce after being separated for over a year - that is one of the 'reasons' for a divorce here in alberta. it was done in about 3 months and cost $800. i dont know that they 'dont do' annulments in canada but that isnt an easy thing to do anyway. you have to prove that the marriage was fraudulent or that it wasnt consumated and things like that. contact the law office in your state and the govt in the province you got married in and see what information you can find.

The court really wants to have the whole history of the marriage set out in bite size pieces so that it can be easily assimilated and dealt with point by point.  Your friend seems quite able to tackle this, having given you the various points already which you have in turn been able to set down in writing.  The issues between him and the other party are \n(1)that he denies her claim to sole ownership of the house;\n(2)he wishes to recover the money represented by his wages which was paid into her bank account over the years and which has disappeared without trace;\n(3)he wishes to put her to proof as to the assets which she is holding on resulting trust for him which are represented by the assets paid into her account in this way;\n(4)he wishes to preserve his beneficial rights under her pension plans.  (She presumably named him as her beneficiary).\n\nFor the chronology, start with the date and place of the marriage, then move on to the purchase of the house, the time when it was agreed that his wages would be paid into her bank account and then just work systematically through to the time she left and embezzled (or squirrelled away) the joint savings.  A few little explanatory details (e.g. his blood pressure) would help.\n\nHe shouldn’t be doing this on his own.  Mistakes at this stage could be very costly.

Yes.  Speak to a family law attorney.

Only if the old marriage is invalid. If you were a Catholic when you first married, and chose not to marry in the church, this should be easy to prove. A Justice of the Peace Marriage does not a Church Wedding make. Go see your parish priest and begin annulment proceedings. This must be done first.\nGood luck.

You would want to consult with your attorney, but that is almost certainly going to be governed by your specific divorce and custody agreements. I know my wife's agreements with her ex-husband prohibit either of them from moving more than some number of agreed upon miles from the other as long as my stepdaughter is still living with us.
