If you are a spouse who earns significantly less income than your partner or maybe have no source of income at all due to being out of work raising children, the thought of how you will support yourself after your divorce can be stressful. When fighting against the presumptions that alimony is not warranted, it is important to have a Southlake alimony lawyer who will properly prepare your case to break from the norm and secure your future.
