Learn how to make Texas maintenance (alimony) calculations using the Texas Maintenance Calculator.
The Texas Maintenance (Alimony) Calculator makes maximum Texas maintenance calculations with one click of the mouse. Before you can calculate Texas maintenance, however, you must enter gross income and marriage length information into the calculator.
First, you must enter the spouses' gross incomes. Enter the gross incomes into the appropriate inputs in the Texas Maintenance Calculator form. The gross incomes should be entered in dollar amounts with no letters or special characters, such as the dollar symbol or commas.
Second, you must enter the length of the spouses' marriage. Once you have determined the marriage length, enter the length into the appropriate input in the Texas Maintenance Calculator form. The length should be entered in years with no letters or special characters.
Once the spouses' gross incomes and marriage length have been entered into the Texas Maintenance Calculator, click the "Calculate" button. That's it! Your Texas maintenance calculation will display on the page underneath the Texas Maintenance Calculator.
The Texas maintenance calculation result contains both a maximum maintenance amount and duration, both of which are based on the Texas Family Code formula.
If the Texas Maintenance Calculator was submitted with invalid information, the calculator will display validation errors on the calculator inputs that were filled out incorrectly and the "Calculate" button will be disabled. Also, error messages will be displayed below the inputs that indicate the reasons for the errors.
If you receive validation errors, enter valid information into the calculator inputs that contain the validation errors. Upon entry of new information, the validation error will be removed from the updated calculator input. Once all validation errors have been removed, the "Calculate" button will be re-enabled for resubmission of the Texas Maintenance (Alimony) Calculator.
