I’m about to remarry, will my ex still need to pay alimony payments?

Probably not. Unless your divorce judgment specifically said that your ex would have to pay you alimony payments for a certain period of time, even if you remarried (which would be highly unusual), then the payments to you stop the day you remarry.
