It depends on what she asks for , etc. If she really wants to be with the other man, then maybe she won't ask for it. It also depends on the state's law where the divorce is filed. He really needs to talk with a local divorce attorney and go over the facts with that attorney.

Alimony/spousal support is based on several factors, including length of marriage and income of both parties, etc. However, most likely he will not have to pay, as most of these types of divorce are by default with no participation or claims from the foreign spouse.

Not if she is living with another man, and has refused to come to the USA to be with him!

Spousal support is not a yes or no. It depends upon the length of the marriage, the income that each spouse is receiving, the marital living conditions versus the separated living conditions, etc. No one is able to give you an answer without more information.
