Alimony Modification: Re-marriage and Georgia's "Live-In" Lover StatuteAlthough there are several grounds for ending alimony, one of the most common is that a party decides to remarry. In these types of cases, O.C.G.A. § 19-6-5(b) indicates that a prior award of alimony can be modified if you decide to get re-married, and the modification will result in terminating your former spouse's alimony obligation. What many people find surprising, however, is that remarriage is not the exclusive defining test for ending alimony.
