Does Texas Family Law allow for alimony payments after divorce?

Texas Family Law does not recognize the term “alimony”. However in extremely limited situations, “maintenance” payments can be ordered by the judge. In almost all divorce cases no maintenance after the divorce will be ordered. Very simplistically if you were not married for 10 years or longer, you probably are not eligible for any maintenance payments after divorce. And even if you were married 10 years or longer, the eligibility requirements are still quite limited.
