What Are Grounds for Divorce in Texas?
There are several grounds a spouse can use when filing for divorce in Texas – both no-fault and fault grounds.
A no-fault divorce in Texas is filed under “insupportability”, which means that the marriage can no longer be supported because of an unresolvable conflict of personality between the spouses.
The fault options for Texas divorce include:
- Separation without cohabitation for three years or more
- Mental hospital confinement for three or more years with an unlikely recovery
- Cruel treatment
- Intentional desertion for one year or more
- Convicted of a felony
- Proven adultery
Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce in Texas
In a contested divorce, both spouses cannot agree and cannot come to conclusions about property division, spousal support, child support or child custody on their own. In such cases, the courts are required to get involved. The attorneys at the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC can help advocate for you in the courts in hopes of communicating your best interests in a favorable way. If your divorce requires going to court, our experienced Houston divorce attorney is prepared to aggressively and compassionately represent you.
In an uncontested divorce, the spouses do all of the decision-making themselves. Sometimes, the spouses will ask a mediator to come work with them to help reach logical and sound legal decisions that will not be struck down in court. With the help of the firm’s Houston attorneys, the clients have the ability to peacefully decide the terms of their divorce, and get an idea of how their lives will be once the process is complete. Even once the divorce is complete, the firm is prepared to assist clients who wish to modify an existing divorce decree. No matter what you need assistance with, you can be confident that you have a team backing you that geniunely cares about helping you achieve favorable results efficiently and effectively.
