Texas was the last state in the U.S. to provide for post-divorce spousal support (alimony). Texas law now provides for alimony in certain circumstances. Recent changes have affected both the amounts that can be awarded, and the duration of the payment.
Texas law does not recognize legal separation, so temporary spousal support can be a critical issue from the outset of any divorce.
Spousal support lawyers are invaluable in preparing their clients in Austin and throughout Central Texas with solid evidence. They work closely with you to develop a full accounting of your expenses and income, but this is only the beginning.
Spousal support law firms must also help you provide the evidence needed to prove that you have limited future earning abilities. You may have devoted your marital life to the care of home and children. You may have even contributed to the education of your spouse at the expense of ensuring you had the training needed to seek future employment. Of course, these are just a few examples of valid reasons justifying the need for spousal support.
Do not assume you automatically deserve support from your spouse after divorce. You need an Austin spousal support attorney to ensure you have financial and other evidence to back up your claim.
