Best Answer

If you are court ordered to pay alimony, losing your job does not automatically negate that order. However, it may give you grounds to go back to the court and request a modification of the order, terminating the alimony obligation.

If you are in the process of a divorce and become unemployed, it is unlikely that you will be ordered to pay alimony, but not impossible.
