Texas Spousal Support Attorney
When a marriage ends, the two spouses are not always on an equal financial footing. One party may need support in order to achieve financial stability. Texas law provides for spousal support (also known as alimony) in certain circumstances. At the Law Office of Lauren Cain, in Frisco, our attorney guides people through the process and is a determined advocate for our clients in alimony matters. Spousal support is a complex aspect of divorce; having a skilled and knowledgeable attorney can make a difference.

Spousal Support Is Not Automatic. Talk to a Lawyer Who Can Explain Your Options.
We explain the Texas spousal support guidelines to clients. People are often unaware that support is usually limited in amount and duration. They may not know that a support award depends on factors such as the length of the marriage, the presence of family violence, and the education and training of the spouses. Our attorney discusses matters like these with clients seeking to resolve issues related to alimony. We also educate clients about the tax consequences of paying or receiving alimony, and we explore whether there are alternatives to alimony.
Modification of Spousal Support
If there is a material change in circumstances that affects how much someone can pay or how much he or she should receive, one or both parties can seek a modification of the original spousal support order. Examples of reasons to modify alimony may include:
- Job loss
- New or higher paying job
- Illness or disability
- Remarriage
Our attorney manages the modification process for clients, seeking a negotiated solution whenever possible if the parties are not in agreement.
