provision of this act to pay any reasonable attorney fees and court costs incurred
by the recipient's former spouse or partner as a result of such non-compliance. The remarriage or establishment of a new civil union of a former spouse or partner receiving rehabilitative or reimbursement alimony shall not be cause for termination
of such alimony by the court unless the court finds that the circumstances upon which
the award was based have not occurred or unless the payer spouse or partner demonstrates an agreement or good cause to the contrary. Alimony shall terminate upon the death of the payer spouse or partner , except that any arrearages that have accrued prior to the date of the payer spouse's or partner's death shall not be vacated or annulled.
