Spousal Support

Texas law recognizes three basic forms of spousal support in appropriate divorce cases. Not every divorce case will require specific provisions for spousal support. Nor will every divorce case include all three forms of spousal support. The three basic forms of spousal support recognized under Texas law in a divorce context are as follows,

Temporary Spousal support: Monthly or periodic payments from one spouse to the other spouse during the pendency of the divorce case;
Post Divorce Spousal maintenance: Court-ordered support payments, from one spouse to the other, for a specific and designated period following the termination of the parties' marriage. Post divorce spousal payments, under Texas law, are subject to a variety of eligibility requirements.
Contractual alimony: Spousal support payments, voluntarily paid by one spouse to the other, pursuant to a written agreement in conformity with specified requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.
