Alimony, known as Spousal Support or Spousal Maintenance in Texas, is available in limited situations. This support may be permanent or may continue for a period of time if deemed necessary by the court.

Spousal support may be available in your Texas divorce in the following situations:

• During the divorce process
• There is an agreement between spouses to pay spousal maintenance
• Spousal support based on financial need and special circumstances
• Unable to support yourself through employment as a result of physical or mental disability
• Unable to work outside of the home due to the need to care for a child of the marriage who is physically or mentally disabled

Additional factors that determine the availability of spousal support are the length of the marriage or the existence of domestic abuse during the marriage.
