Description
Some states require one spouse to pay alimony, or financial support, to the other spouse after a divorce. But in Texas, our alimony statute is very limited. In the Texas family code, court-ordered alimony is actually referred to as "spousal maintenance." Alimony or maintenance is sometimes awarded in cases where a man and woman were married for more than 10 years, and one spouse lacks an earning ability; in cases where a spouse has been convicted of family violence; or in cases of disability. In some cases, the two parties will agree to alimony as part of the estate division. These agreed-to payments are called "contractual alimony".
