Description

Our Texas Alimony Calculator estimates spousal payments following a divorce in Texas. It evaluates quantitative data and qualitative assessments, reflecting Texas courts’ comprehensive approach to determining alimony.

Overview

Alimony is a complex process. The court considers multiple factors when determining the payments. Our calculator simplifies the estimation of alimony. It runs calculations based on Texas state guidelines, which consider the length of the marriage, income disparities, employability, and other life circumstances that affect each party’s financial needs and capacities

Input Qualitative Factors

Select from dropdown menus to classify the receiver’s employability, health condition, education level, and childcare responsibilities.
