Grounds for Divorce in Texas

Texas law acknowledges various grounds for divorce, encompassing both no-fault and fault-based reasons.

A no-fault divorce typically proceeds under “insupportability,” citing irreconcilable differences without the need to assign blame.

 

Fault-based grounds include:

 

  • Continuous separation for three years or more without cohabitation
  • Confinement in a mental institution for three years with little hope of recovery
  • Cruel and abusive treatment
  • Willful abandonment for at least one year
  • Felony conviction and imprisonment
  • Proven instances of adultery

 

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Texas

Contested divorces arise when spouses cannot reach agreements on crucial matters such as property distribution, spousal support, and child custody, leading to the involvement of the court. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC is well-prepared to represent your interests in court, advocating for your best outcomes with a combination of aggression and compassion. Whether your divorce process proceeds to court or can be resolved through negotiation, our experienced Live Oak divorce attorneys are ready to provide the comprehensive support and representation you require.
