One reason alimony may not be awarded is if there is a prenuptial agreement in place. Both spouses may have agreed to no spousal support. Another reason why alimony may not be rewarded during or following a divorce is if neither spouse meets the requirements laid out by North Carolina law.
In order to receive termination of alimony, you should obtain necessary evidence of life changes, such as your spouse remarrying, becoming deceased, or cohabitation. A judge may not grant termination in other changed circumstances.
