Family Code Sections 8.054 and 8.055. The trial court abused its discretion by
ordering Paul to pay $5,000 in monthly spousal maintenance without evidence that
this amount was equal to or less than 20 percent of his average monthly gross income, Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 8.055(a)(2), and it abused its discretion by ordering Paul to pay spousal maintenance for a period that extended more than seven years after the date of the trial court’s order, id. § 8.054(a)(1)(B). We reverse the portions of the final divorce decree related to the amount and duration of spousal maintenance, and we remand for a new trial on those issues. Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(d); see Evans, 2020 WL 1808294, at *5; Deltuva, 113 S.W.3d at 888–89. We affirm all other aspects of the decree. Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(a).
