Do I need to file additional papers or take any actions after my ex-wife remarries?

My ex-wife will re-marry next month. I plan on paying her sposal support for that month. Our settlement stated I’d pay until she remarried or one of us died.

Alimony normally ends upon death or remarriage. You have to go back to the same court granting divorce to file a motion to have it terminated once your ex gets remarried.
