WEST VIRGINIA Part 36

Similarly, spousal support in gross continues even if the recipient spouse remarries. In that case, it continues for as long as the order requires. Going back to the example above, if $60,000 were due in $1,000 installments for five years and the recipient spouse remarried after four years, then payments must continue for another year after remarriage.

If either spouse dies, then permanent and temporary spousal support ends. Rehabilitative support terminates with the recipient spouse’s death. If the paying spouse dies, rehabilitative support continues unless it would be unfair to make the paying spouse’s estate keep paying. Spousal support in gross continues beyond either spouse’s death.
