If the spouse fails to pay the maintenance as ordered, what remedies are available?

The court may enter judgment against the non-complying party but may not impose incarceration.  A maintenance obligation is a debt and under the Texas Constitution and the United States Constitution, the court may not imprison the non-complying spouse.  However, any other methods to collect a judgment may be utilized, including wage garnishment.  In addition, the payments may be withheld from wages if the payments are not timely under the agreement.
