Alimony

Alimony (spousal maintenance) is ordered in Texas as a temporary measure to enable a spouse to complete education or training necessary to provide for their own financial needs.

The amount of alimony paid is based on the length of the marriage and the income of the spouse paying alimony.

Exceptions are made for the disabled.
