QUESTION
How can we legally document an amicable alimony increase?
Asked on Nov 03rd, 2014 on Divorce - Texas
More details to this question:
My ex husband who I have been divorced from for almost 20 years has agreed to pay me more alimony per month. I was wondering how I can get that legalized to feel comforted in knowing it will be constant. Or if we are not able to modify the alimony in our divorce decree what other legal documents could we draw up to make sure he continues on his promise?

Since alimony is contractual in nature, you and your ex-husband should consider having a contract prepared that outlines what his obligations are to you and how long the agreement will last as well as under what circumstances the agreement would be terminated. With a contract in place, you will have rights against your husband if he should default or if any confusion about the agreement arises. Contact a local attorney for a consultation as soon as you can.
