Spousal maintenance is a statutory remedy created by the Texas legislature that allows for a court to award payments to a spouse after divorce for a brief period of time under very limited circumstances. The legal remedy of spousal maintenance is codified in Chapter 8 of the Texas Family Code. A court that determines that a spouse is eligible to receive maintenance shall determine the nature, amount, duration, and manner of periodic payments by considering all relevant factors, including:
Spousal maintenance payments ordered under Chapter 8 of the Texas Family Code are enforceable by contempt and may be subject to a wage withholding order issued to the paying spouse’s employer.
Contractual alimony is a voluntary payment of spousal maintenance from one spousal to another spouse. A person going through divorce may agree to make regular payments to the other spouse as contractual alimony as part of the property settlement. There may be variety of reasons entering into such a voluntary spousal agreement, but it is most often used to equalize the division of marital property while providing one spouse with a steady income stream.
