Divorce Decree Modification & Enforcement

divorcing-coupleThe state of Texas does not use the term “alimony” but, instead, allows for maintenance of a spouse if the spouse (1) does not have the working skills to earn enough, (2) is disabled, (3) is caring for a disabled child. The two (2) circumstances that would qualify for a court to order the payment of spousal maintenance in a divorce would include if a spouse was convicted of family violence or if the marriage was for a period of ten (10) years or longer. Only under these circumstances will the consideration of alimony be considered if the spouse seeking the alimony is able to show that he/she does not have sufficient resources to live within reasonable parameters.
