The Significance of Spousal Support in a Texas Divorce

Likely, there is no prenuptial agreement on hand that acts as a roadmap as to how to navigate these uncharted waters of divorce. Never fear, the legal professionals at the law office of Michael D. Tracton are here to help.

Whether you will be receiving or giving spousal support, or alimony, it is important that each party understand the significance of alimony. Spousal support is implemented by Texas family courts because it helps to atone for sacrifices that one person may have made, due to the best interests of the couple or family. This could come in the form of sacrifice such as not continuing education to care for a child, therefore, making less money long term.
