Grounds for Divorce in Texas

Texas allows divorce for a number of reasons, including fault-based and no-fault grounds.
In Texas, a no-fault divorce is usually filed under the heading of “insupportability,” which denotes irreconcilable differences.
In Texas, fault-based grounds consist of:

 

  • Separation lasting three years or more without cohabitation
  • Three or more years of inpatient mental health hospitalization with little chance of recovery
  • Inhumane treatment
  • Deliberate abandonment lasting a year or longer
  • Found guilty of a crime
  • Confirmed infidelity

 

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Texas

Court intervention is necessary in contentious divorces because the divorcing parties cannot agree on important matters such as property distribution, spousal support, child support, or custody. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC is able to effectively express your best interests while representing you in court.

 

Spouses decide together in an uncontested divorce, sometimes with the assistance of a mediator. The lawyers at the firm help clients decide on the terms of their divorce amicably and provide them clarity on what comes after. The company also provides post-divorce services, such as updating a pre-existing divorce judgment.
