Houston Alimony Lawyers
A party's right to alimony is limited by Texas statutes. Eligibility standards depend on the length of the marriage, whether one party lacks sufficient property to maintain minimal needs, lack of earning potential, care of disable child, among others. A party may be charged with obligation to provide support to his or her spouse if that party has been convicted of a crime of family violence.
The amount, if any, of an award of spousal support and duration of spousal support are limited by Texas law.
