Question:

My wife and I are in agreement that neither one of us will pay alimony in our divorce.

Can we put these "no alimony" terms in our divorce settlement agreement?

Will a judge allow a divorce without any alimony payments?

Question:

I pay alimony to my ex-wife. Our divorce decree is silent on the issue, but it is my understanding that I should no longer have to pay alimony if she is remarried or cohabiting.
