Dealing with Spousal Support in Texas? Here’s A Guide

In this video, we discuss the important topic of spousal support (also known as spousal maintenance) in Texas. If you're going through a divorce and worried about your financial situation afterward, understanding how spousal support works can help bring you peace of mind.

First, we talk about who is eligible for spousal support in Texas. It's not automatic — factors like the length of your marriage, your financial resources, and your ability to support yourself all play a role. For example, if you’ve been married for 10 years or longer, you might qualify for support. We also discuss special circumstances, such as physical or mental disabilities, or if domestic violence was involved, which can impact the court's decision.

Next, we cover how spousal support is calculated. Unlike child support, there's no set formula in Texas. Instead, the court considers things like how long you've been married and both parties' financial situations. This means the amount and duration of support can vary widely from case to case.

We also touch on the difference between temporary and permanent spousal support, as well as the possibility of modifying or terminating support based on changes in circumstances, like if the recipient spouse remarries.
