Description
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS An order to pay spousal and child support may be based upon a contractual obligation, but the order is enforceable by contempt
only to the extent that the support awarded is also authorized by the Texas Family Code and Constitution. Relator in this
original habeas corpus proceeding was held in contempt for failing to pay support ordered solely on the basis of a prenuptial
agreement. The support order was not based upon statutory authority and thus was not enforceable by contempt. We therefore
grant the writ and order relator discharged.
