Divorce occurs for a variety of reasons. Contested divorce is often at its most challenging stage when my clients are dealing with adultery, reimbursement issues or they cannot agree on post-divorce spousal maintenance (also known as alimony) or the division of marital estate based on fault.

These areas of contested divorce require the attention of a detail-oriented, experienced El Paso contested divorce attorney.

At the Law Office of Xochitl A. Ambriz, before we dive into the details of a contested divorce, we will try to spot the issues that may be agreed upon.

After which, we schedule divorce mediation and settlement conferences where we try to eliminate as many issues as possible.

We then compile a Rule 11 Agreement, which ultimately limits the number of issues that will go before the court. The more we can figure out before your court date and list in the agreement, the faster the process will be.

Alimony in Texas

In Texas it is difficult to be awarded what is commonly referred to as alimony, and in Texas is called post-divorce spousal maintenance. The Texas Family Code states several factors the court should take into consideration, such as the length of marriage, acts of family violence, ability to support himself or herself due to disability, whether a child has a disability and earning ability in the labor market.

It is important to consult a knowledgeable lawyer who can help determine what your situation requires and obtain the best possible results.
