Suzy, usually in NC,you lose the spousal support once you remarry, too. However, somehow I was fortunate enough that I was able to keep receiving spousal for 2 years, post negotiations, whether I remarried or not. I will stop receiving mine just before Bill moves to NC.
I will get lifetime spousal support unless I remarry or live with a man for more than a year. I know that is a bone of contention with X, but he makes over twice what I make and without it I wouldn't be able to maintain a good home for the kids. The last time he went off on a rant about it I reminded him that his attorney advised him to sign it so he needed to discuss it with her or get over it!!!
