FAQ
Texas does have alimony, but Texas law favors alimony payments that are decided in private contracts as a part of divorce settlements over court ordered alimony. Texas does, however, allow for alimony or spousal support payments to be ordered, but there are very strict requirements that determine who is eligible.
In Texas, some things can disqualify you from spousal support. These include: Cohabitation: If you live with someone else in a marriage-like relationship, you may be disqualified for spousal support. Remarriage: If you remarry before your spousal support obligation ends, you may be disqualified for further payments.
The biggest new child support law in 2023 in Texas allows judges to order those who owe child support (“obligors”) to seek employment.
After a divorce, it's common for one spouse to make payments to the other as part of the divorce agreement. These payments can be alimony, child support or a mix of both.
On average, child support determinations take about two months from the time the request for support is filed. Once the request is filed with the court, the noncustodial parent to whom the request for child support is directed will be notified about the filing.

If the check must be payable to the custodial parent, please include the SDU as the co-payee. For example, please make the check payable to “custodial parent and/or the state SDU.” Sending payments electronically to state SDUs is another way to ensure payments arrive quickly and safely.
You can also contact the Child Support Division of the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The OAG will not represent you the way a lawyer would, but they can go to court to get an order for child support, custody, and visitation. You can contact the OAG at (800) 255-8014 or through their website.
While you can attempt to settle child support matters without a lawyer, having legal representation can provide you with peace of mind and increase the likelihood of reaching a fair and satisfactory resolution.
