What Are the Grounds for Filing for Divorce in Texas?
Texas offers divorce based on both at-fault grounds and no-fault grounds.
No-fault divorce – In Texas, a no-fault divorce would be filed under the grounds of “insupportability”, which basically means the marriage can’t be support any longer. Neither spouse has to prove a fault in the other spouse. They must simply state that there is a conflict within the marriage that can’t be resolved.
Other fault-based grounds for divorce include:
- Separation – This requires living apart for three or more years
- Mental illness – This requires one spouse being in a mental hospital for three or more years with an unlikely recovery
- Cruelty – This is cruelty to such a degree that living together isn’t feasible
- Abandonment – This requires one spouse intentionally leaving for one year or more
- Felony – This requires a conviction
- Adultery – This requires proof of adultery
