Has he stopped paying alimony? If so, file a motion for contempt and you will need to find out where he is living. You could hire a private investigator. I think it is always better to get an attorney involved because the attorney knows what to do.

Texas courts will consider a request for spousal maintenance to be paid by a former spouse after divorce in certain circumstances. Spousal maintenance is like alimony but is court ordered.  The general rule is that only persons married ten years or more are eligible for spousal maintenance. If your daughter's child is a child of her husband and she maintains custody of the child, the father will be ordered to pay child support.   In some circumstances a court may make a temporary order for one spouse to pay the less monied spouse temporary spousal support while the divorce is going on.  It is fairly common for a husband to be ordered to support a stay at home mom while the divorce is pending.   There is an exception to the ten year marriage rule if there has been family violence that lead to the husband being convicted.  There is also an exception to the ten year rule for persons who cannot meet their minimum monthly needs because of an incapacitating physical or mental diability or because the spouse is caring for a child who has that degree of disability.

The date of marriage is important because it determines what property is community, if you two have any property together, this actually does matter. You need to file an Amended Petition for Divorce to edit the date of marriage and correct this error.
