Understanding Alimony

In San Antonio, TX, several factors are taken into consideration when determining alimony payments. These include how long the marriage lasted, the income and earning potential of each spouse, the standard of living during the marriage, and the age and health of each spouse. It is important to note that alimony is not automatically granted in every divorce case and must be requested by the receiving spouse.

There are several types of alimony available in Texas, including rehabilitative, temporary, and permanent alimony. Rehabilitative alimony is granted for a specific period and is intended to help the receiving spouse become self-sufficient through education or job training.

Temporary alimony is awarded during the divorce proceedings and is intended to cover the receiving spouse's immediate needs. Permanent alimony is granted when the receiving spouse is unable to sufficiently provide for themselves due to age, disability, or other factors.



It is also important to note that alimony payments may be modified or terminated if there is a significant change in circumstances, such as an increase or decrease in income or a change in the receiving spouse's ability to become self-sufficient.
