Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I am at present making monthly maintenance payments of approx. $2K to my ex with about 30 months to go. The court has also awarded her 1/3 of my retirement annuity (approx. $1K per month) . If I retire before the 30 months have passed, will she be entitled to $3K per month, or can I deduct the $1K from my maintenance payments....leaving her monthly support amount unchanged? Thanks in advance for your assistance. A. Porter

You must have had an attorney who represented you in this settlement. That is who you should be asking. No one else is going to know enough about this to offer an opinion. If you can't go back to your original attorney you should take all of your paperwork and go see a good family law attorney.
