    Do I have to pay alimony to ex if she is in jail?
    If she is in jail for an extended period, do I still pay alimony? She has free room and board and three meals a day so she does not have the need for money.

    Go to court for a modification. If she is in jail she may not be entitled to spousal support as there is no way for her to raise beyond where she is at. That is what spousal support / alimony is for.
