    Receiving alimony after an annulment
    My friend got divorced and was receiving $2000 in alimony every month.
    She then got remarried in Las Vegas. Things didn't work out very well with
    That Vegas wedding and she got the marriage annulled. Since getting an annullment
    Is like the marriage legally never happened, can she start receiving her $2000 alimony
    From her divorce again?

    I think she has a reasonable possibility, depending on what the case law is in the state. On the other hand, if her alimony ended after a remarriage and her new spouse died shortly thereafter, her alimony would not restart. She will need a legal opinion from an attorney in her state.

    Depending on the State it might be different but I believe, no, she is no longer entitled - the Court might tell her she should have gotten divorced instead of annulled and look at husband #2 for alimony; at any rate, the first husband is no probably no longer responsible.

    Only an Attorney in your area will know for sure - I'll be curious to see how this plays out. I've looked into the other side of this - attempting to prove that someone HAS remarried when they claim they have NOT; never seen this specific scenario.
