Grounds for Divorce in Texas |
|
|
|
“Grounds for divorce” are the legal reasons for a divorce. Grounds for divorce are the legal reasons or basis for the divorce.
One no fault basis is that the spouses have lived apart for at least three years. The other no fault basis is called “insupportability.”
A court may grant a no fault divorce on the basis of insupportability if a marriage “has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation” (see section 6.001 of the Texas Family Code).
A divorce may also be granted in Texas under the following fault grounds:
- • Cruelty
- • Adultery
- • Convicted of Felony and incarcerated at least one year
- • Abandonment
- • Confinement in a Mental Hospital for at least three years.
For more information about these fault grounds for divorce in Texas, see sections 6.002 to 6.007 of the Texas Family Code.
