C. Payments to Mrs. Spector
Dr. Ehrenworth made the payments on Fridays at
Mrs. Spector’s request so that she could plan her week.
Mrs. Spector married Norman Spector on August 23, 1980.
After that time, Dr. Ehrenworth stopped paying Mrs. Spector the
$800 per week. On April 10, 1981, Mrs. Spector filed a motion in
New Jersey Superior Court to compel Dr. Ehrenworth to continue
paying $800 per week to her. Dr. Ehrenworth filed a cross-motion
to terminate these payments and to vacate arrearages. He argued
that the payments were alimony and that Mrs. Spector could not
continue to recover alimony under N.J. Stat. Ann. sec. 2A:34-25
(1987)3 because she had remarried.
3 N.J. Stat. Ann. sec. 2A:34-25 (1987) provides:
If after the judgment of divorce the wife shall
remarry, the court shall not make any order as to the
alimony of such wife except that upon application of
the former husband, on notice and on proof of the
marriage of the former wife after the judgment of
divorce, the court shall modify any order or judgment
as to the alimony of the former wife by vacating and
annulling any and all provisions in any such order or
judgment, or both, directing the payment of money for
the support of the former wife.
In 1988, New Jersey revised the statute to be gender
neutral, among other things.
