Yes, a valid court Order regarding alimony (now called spousal maintenance in Kansas) is enforceable in another state. Some special rules for registering an out-of-state judgment apply, so contact an experienced family law attorney.

Yes, there is a Uniform law that has been passed that will require the enforcement of other states' support orders such as alimony and child support. For specifics, you should consult with a local family law attorney regarding enforcement.
