How Remarriage Can Impact Your Divorce Settlement

Posted By Stepniak & Park || 31-Aug-2018

Although reaching a divorce settlement means the end of your marriage, you may still continue to pay alimony and child support to the other party. However, what happens if you or your ex-spouse get remarried?

The following are the common financial concerns with regard to this change of circumstances:

  • Remarriage doesn’t end child support payments – In Rhode Island, no matter if you or your ex-spouse have remarried, the new spouse has no duty to support your children from a previous relationship. The children will always be the responsibility of their parents. However, a new spouse’s income is relevant since it more fully shows the parent’s ability to pay child support.
  • Remarriage puts an end to alimony payments – The obligation to pay future spousal maintenance is automatically terminated when the supported spouse remarries. On the other hand, cohabitation is not enough to terminate alimony.

When it comes to child custody, a parent who remarries may wish to relocate with the children or change their living arrangements in order to accommodate the new spouse through modification. However, a parent cannot modify their custody orders without the other parent’s consent unless a judge determines a significant change in circumstances that would affect the child’s best interests.

If you are interested in obtaining a modification on your divorce decree, contact our Daytona Beach divorce attorney at Law Offices of Robert Stepniak today.
