Under limited circumstances, the state of Texas permits one spouse to pay alimony after a divorce is final. Usually the spousal maintenance is only available if you have been married more than 10 years. The restrictions may be loosened for special circumstances: if you have limited earning ability, for instance, or if your spouse was convicted of spousal abuse or you care for a disabled child.

Attorney Langston is a family law attorney. Under her guidance, we can help determine whether you qualify to receive alimony from your ex-spouse. We will review your case and help ensure that your rights are protected.

How Much Alimony Can I Receive?

If you qualify to receive alimony, the award is based on a percentage of your ex-spouse's income. Normally, you can receive alimony for up to two years. Under special circumstances this period may be extended.
