The Woodlands Alimony And Spousal Support Lawyers

Texas courts will not order alimony, but will, in certain situations, award “post-divorce maintenance.” For a variety of reasons, such as caring for children, a party to a lengthy marriage may be absent from the job market for such a time that he or she is unlikely to find employment that will provide for his or her needs. Also, a child may require such attention from one or the other parent and that parent may be precluded from working outside the home. In these cases, and others, Texas courts may order the other spouse to pay spousal maintenance.
