Reaching Solutions You Can Trust
In many cases, particularly when children are involved, we work to negotiate settlements outside the courtroom. However, if your case is best served by going to trial, we will be prepared to fight for you in court. We have extensive litigation experience and a proven record of success.
Handling Spousal Maintenance Claims
In Texas, the right to receive post-divorce spousal maintenance is limited. You may be entitled to receive maintenance if:
- The marriage lasted for at least 10 years, or
- Your spouse has been convicted of or placed on deferred adjudication for an act of family violence.
The court hearing your case will also consider other factors in determining whether you qualify to receive post-divorce spousal maintenance.
Generally, the Court can only order post-divorce spousal maintenance for a maximum of 3 years; however, if you are incapacitated or otherwise disabled, a spousal maintenance order can be longer in duration. To learn more, contact our office.
Protecting Your Financial Security
While a divorce is pending, both spouses have a legal duty to support the other. If one makes more money, the court may order the individual to pay maintenance while the divorce is in process.
If you need financial assistance during your divorce, we can help you obtain temporary awards, including:
- Use of the house and other property
- Payment of bills, such as attorney fees
- Child support
- temporary spousal support
