Alimony was determined as part of the divorce. Whatever amount he was ordered to pay, he has to pay. It is usually not modifiable. So if he isn't working, he still has to pay it. Unless you have a prenuptial agreement making income separate property, all bills will be paid from the household income and alimony is one of the bills that has to be paid. Your question is awkward because it doesn't tell me what his decree actually orders.
