I will explain your options in plain English, so you know exactly what you are likely to receive and the challenges you face.

Determining Alimony Eligibility

Just because alimony is rare, that does not mean it is impossible to receive it. The state of Texas recognizes that some people are in situations where spousal support is necessary. In most cases, it is only awarded to couples who have been married for over ten years or in situations where family violence has occurred. In some cases, the parties contractually agree to pay spousal maintenance to help equalize their property division.

Coming Up With a Fair Spousal Maintenance Plan

If you are eligible for alimony, the next step is to figure out a plan where it is the most advantageous for both people. If you receive too much in spousal support, your taxes may increase to a point where it is no longer advantageous. I can help you understand the tax implications for both the paying and the receiving party.
