Nothing.

Alimony is only required by court order in the case of a divorce. A current spouse cannot be compelled to send alimony.

Let's leave the semantics aside for the moment. If your ex-spouse stops sending the court-ordered alimony, then you can report them (if you're not sure who to report them to, call your local legal aid office and ask... the information desk at your nearest courthouse should be able to give you their number). Nonpayment of support is looked on unfavorably by the courts.
