Did you know that spousal maintenance in Texas isn’t automatic? You must meet specific criteria before requesting it. If you’ve been married for 10+ years, are disabled, or are caring for a disabled child, you may be eligible for spousal maintenance. However, strict financial requirements and limitations apply. Understanding these rules can help you navigate your divorce and secure the support you need. Need more clarity on spousal maintenance?
