OK...but will she get 36 months at 20% automatically? That creates an undue hardship for me because she'd get over half of my take-home if my assumption about SS being 20% of pre-tax income is correct.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> No , 20% & 36 months are the max , either could be less . CS would be less IF maintenance is awarded as the amount of maintence awarded is deducted from your income before CS is calculaed .
> True.
True what? True that judges don't look kindly on people who refuse to work, or she can tattoo me because she's lazy?
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Both . Maintenance in Texas is meant to be rehabilitative to allow the lessor earning spouse to become self-sufficient .
