Alimony and spousal support laws differ from state to state. In Texas, alimony is available to a spouse who exhibits financial need during a divorce. In most cases, a spouse can receive alimony only for up to three years. If a spouse is the primary caregiver for a child with special needs, or if the spouse is disabled, alimony may be available for more than three years.

The court bases its decision on a number of factors. Our lawyers will work to persuade the court to award a favorable amount of alimony. Some of the factors the court considers when awarding alimony include:

• Length of the marriage
• Financial need of a spouse
• Ability of a spouse to pay alimony
• Education and current occupation
