alimony
The money paid by one ex-spouse to the other for support under the terms of a court order or settlement agreement following a divorce. Except in marriages of long duration (ten years or more) or in the case of an ailing spouse, alimony usually lasts for a set period, with the expectation that the recipient spouse will become self-supporting. Alimony is also called "spousal support" or "maintenance."

How can I stop my ex-wife from using the credit card I'm paying for?
I was recently divorced. Part of the divorce decree ordered me to pay credit cards that are in my ex wife's name. I've requested that the bills be sent to me so I can see what is owed and to make sure I am not paying for stuff she is still charging. The credit card companies won't tell me anything, because the cards are in her name, but they will take my money. I can't close the accounts and she refuses to do so or to sign paperwork so the bills will come to my address. What can I do?
