Spousal Support in Texas Is Complicated. We Make It Clear.

Divorce is already one of the most stressful events a person can face. When spousal support — or spousal maintenance, as Texas law calls it — enters the picture, the financial stakes rise significantly. You may be wondering whether you qualify for support, how long payments last, or what happens if your former spouse refuses to pay. These are real, pressing concerns. And the answers depend on factors specific to your marriage, your finances, and the facts of your case. At Lovorn Law Firm, our family law attorneys work with clients in New Braunfels, Comal County, and throughout the Texas Hill Country to protect their financial interests and secure fair outcomes.

What a Spousal Support Attorney Can Do for You

Texas courts do not award spousal maintenance automatically. A qualified spousal support attorney near you can make the difference between a favorable outcome and leaving money — or financial security — on the table. At Lovorn Law Firm, our attorneys handle every stage of the spousal support process:

Eligibility analysis — Determining whether you or your spouse qualify under the Texas Family Code
Negotiating spousal support agreements — Reaching terms outside of court when possible

Frequently Asked Questions About Spousal Support in New Braunfels, TX

Does Texas require alimony after a divorce?
Texas does not require spousal maintenance automatically. Courts may award it when specific conditions are met under the Texas Family Code — most commonly after a marriage lasting 10 or more years, or in cases involving documented family violence or disability.

How long does spousal support last in Texas?
Duration depends on the length of the marriage. For marriages of 10–20 years, support typically lasts up to 5 years. Marriages of 20–30 years may result in up to 7 years of support. Longer marriages or cases involving disability may allow for extended or indefinite maintenance.

How much can a court award in Texas?
Texas caps spousal maintenance at the lesser of $5,000 per month or 20% of the paying spouse's average gross monthly income.

Can a spousal support order be changed after divorce?
Yes. A spousal support modification lawyer can petition the court to increase, decrease, or terminate maintenance if there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances — such as job loss, remarriage, or changes in income.

What is the difference between contractual alimony and court-ordered spousal maintenance?
Contractual alimony is agreed upon by both spouses in a divorce settlement and enforced as a contract. Court-ordered spousal maintenance is awarded by a judge under statutory guidelines. Both forms have legal consequences if not honored.

What if my former spouse stops paying?
Failure to comply with a spousal support order can result in contempt of court proceedings. A spousal support dispute attorney can help you pursue enforcement options through Comal County District Court.
