Need some legal advise. Now, I know Texas doesn't have spousal support.?

Question

But how does someone like an ex-wife have the right to ask for it when there has been a seperation for 4 years and she had gain all property, no children were involved, and to top it off, she has had to kids while still married, with someone else. The Husband had tried to file for a divorce in 2003 but the wife was considered as a run away, but now in present time wants the divorce, new boyfriend has joined the army and is in Iraq fighting as we speak. The soon to be ex- wife now wants the divorce and wants spousal support. The husband has no other children and had given at the time of the split all property. Taking nothing, Walking out empty handed. Tell me what you think on the situation. Put yourself in the husbands shoes and tell what you would do now since she has done the wrong.

Answer 1

Take this case to court,explain the situation and then plead to the mercy of the court but I seriously doubt with everything here she will get anything. The time frame here is going to work against her and if she started a family with someone else while seperated is definitely going to hurt her. Shes going to really have to prove 2 things here; 1. how she supported herself without hubbys money for 4 yrs, and 2. why all of a sudden does she need the money when she managed thru those 4 years. Husband has nothing to worry about here. Good luck

Answer 2

SPOUSAL SUPPORT
Texas Courts have limited authority to order alimony after a divorce is granted. However, while your case is pending, the Court has the authority to award temporary spousal support. The Court will consider the needs of the requesting spouse and the ability of the other spouse to pay. The Court will additionally consider the health and age of the parties, ability to work, responsibility for children, availability of funds, and the length of the marriage. As a general rule, spousal support will be ordered for a limited period of time and in an amount necessary to cover the basic necessities of life. To receive alimony after divorce, you must have been married for a period exceeding 10 years, and you may qualify for up to $2,500 per month for a maximum of three years.
