Description

Texas courts are statutorily empowered to enforce their orders by contempt. However, a divorce decree that awards a sum of money, payable in a lump sum or in future installments, is generally not enforceable by contempt, unless either:


1. Payment is to be made from a fund that exists at the time of the decree; or


2. The decree awards the right to receive installment payments or a lump-sum payment due on the maturation of an existing vested or non-vested right to be paid in the future; or


3. The award is for temporary spousal maintenance, as when, following a long term marriage, a spouse lacks the ability to work and earn money to be self-support

FAQ

Education: If you can obtain an education or training that will entitle you to earn a higher wage, you may be disqualified for spousal support. Abandonment: If you abandon your spouse, you may be disqualified for spousal support.

Spousal support and spousal maintenance are different under Texas law. "Spousal support" is voluntary, and generally something the divorcing parties agree to in their divorce settlement. Spousal support can be enforced like a contract. Spousal maintenance, on the other hand, is enforceable as a court order.

Texas courts take spousal support payment seriously. If a paying spouse fails to keep up with the payments, they could face a variety of consequences, including wage garnishment, liens against their property, and even jail time.

If you want to avoid paying spousal support, your best option is to negotiate an alternate arrangement with your spouse outside of court. Otherwise, you must be able to show either that your ex-partner does not need maintenance, or that you are unable to provide it.

If the spouse is physically incapable of earning his own bread and butter, he may be exempt from paying alimony. In such instances, the court has the authority to order the wife to pay alimony. The court's judgment on alimony is influenced by your divorce case's representation.
