Answer:
In Colorado, maintenance obligations typically end upon the remarriage of the recipient spouse (C.R.S. § 14-10-122(2)). Therefore, your maintenance payments will terminate when your ex-wife gets married in early July 2007.
Regarding payment for July, you are only obligated to pay maintenance until the date of her marriage, not for the entire month. If she marries on July 1, for instance, your obligation would end that day, and you would not need to pay for the remainder of the month.
