Frequently-Asked Questions

What is alimony, and how does it work?

Alimony, also known as “spousal support” or “spousal maintenance” in Texas, is financial assistance provided by one spouse to the other after a divorce. It’s designed to help the lower-earning spouse maintain their standard of living.

Is alimony automatically granted in divorce cases?

No, alimony is not automatically granted. Whether it’s awarded depends on various factors, such as the duration of the marriage, the financial situation of both spouses, and their contributions during the marriage. We’ll help you understand your eligibility and navigate the process.

Which Cities and Counties Do you Serve?

Do you take payment plans?

It depends. The attorney and the billing staff will make that determination after your consult.

Do you assist with military spousal support?

Yes. We regularly handle military divorces, division of military retirement, and child visitation when one parent is deployed.

Do you Offer Zoom or Phone Consults?

Yes, we do! We offer in-person, Zoom, and phone consults.

Can I walk in and schedule a consult?

No. At this time, we do not accept walk-in visits due to our being a small firm. We are often out of the office at the courthouse, meeting with clients, etc.

Do you bill on a flat fee basis?

Not at this time. Clients are required to pay an initial retainer and work is billed against the retainer. If more work needs to be completed and the client’s retainer balance is depleted, the firm will request that the retainer balance is replenished.
