Spousal Support

Texas does not guarantee spousal support although Texas family courts do make every effort to cushion the financial blow and provide resources during the divorce process.

While promoting the financial independence, the court may order temporary support, to receive vocational training to start a career and post divorce support for a physical or mentally disabled child.

At the Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz, our goal is to ensure you receive fair treatment and an equitable share of the financial assets of the marital estate. Regardless of your employment status in or out of the home, you made an invaluable contribution to the life of your family and you deserve to receive or retain the resources you need to build a new life.

At the Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz, we listen and we care. We are here to help. Contact our office for sound legal advice to help you resolve the question of spousal support.

Temporary or Permanent Support

If a spouse is disabled or elderly and has been in a long-term marriage, the courts may order long-term spousal support under certain conditions.

Considerations

Regarding spousal support, divorce attorney Steven Wm. Buholz helps clients consider other ongoing financial concerns that they may want to address when developing their divorce agreement, including:

• The ongoing provision of medical insurance and/or life insurance
• Provision for a physical and mentally disabled spouse
• Provision for support for the custodian of a child of the marriage who has a physical or mental disability
