What Is Spousal Maintenance?
Spousal maintenance, also known as alimony, is financial support paid by one spouse to the other after a marriage has ended. Its purpose is to help the receiving party maintain financial stability during a set period. Unlike child support, which is intended for the care of children, spousal maintenance is granted to assist a spouse who may lack the financial ability to meet their basic needs independently. Spousal maintenance can take many forms, including temporary arrangements during divorce proceedings or ongoing payments after the divorce is finalized.
How Courts Determine Spousal Maintenance in Texas
Texas law applies strict criteria when deciding whether spousal maintenance is appropriate and what the terms should be.
Courts consider several factors, including but not limited to, the following:
- The length of the marriage (longer marriages are more likely to lead to maintenance).
- The financial need of the requesting spouse.
- The other spouse’s capacity to pay support.
- The age, health, education, and earning capacity of both spouses.
- Either spouse’s contributions to the marriage, such as homemaking or supporting the other spouse’s career.
- Any history of domestic violence within the relationship.
Spousal maintenance is capped at 20% of the gross monthly income of the obligor (the person required to pay spousal maintenance).
