When Can a Utah Court Terminate Alimony?

Under Utah law, a family law court can rule for the termination of alimony due to any one of the following scenarios:

  • Death: When either party dies, alimony payments cease.
  • Cohabitation: If the alimony recipient lives with a new partner, or is cohabitating with an individual, alimony can be terminated.
  • Remarriage: When a party receiving alimony remarries, he or she will no longer be eligible to receive alimony payments from a former spouse.
  • Expiration: Alimony generally cannot last longer than the marriage. Therefore, if a couple was married for 20 years, the court generally will not award alimony longer than that period of time.
