Texas Alimony Law

Alimony, or spousal maintenance, is a payment made from a higher-earning spouse to a lower-earning spouse. In Texas, alimony is awarded based on the receiving spouse's needs.

Alimony is not automatic, and is by no means easy to get. Texas family courts require spouses to be married for at least 10 years before spousal maintenance can be awarded unless family violence has occurred.

Can I Receive Alimony?

If you are seeking alimony following your divorce, our law firm can help you determine if you are eligible to receive this monthly payment. You may be eligible to receive temporary support during the divorce proceedings, and perhaps after it is final.

Modifying or Enforcing Alimony

It may be possible to modify your current alimony arrangement if you or your spouse's income has changed or financial need has changed. Additionally, if the paying spouse is failing to make payments on time, it may be possible to seek enforcement through the court.

For a free consultation regarding alimony, contact us online or call our law offices at 972-608-0335 or 903-813-4778.

Just a brief note to tell you how appreciative I am of how effective you were in my Bankruptcy Proceedings. I was never worried because I knew I was being represented by the best. Thank you!

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
