Sometimes, Love Can't Keep Folks Together And They Are Better Apart.

Divorce can be a challenging and emotionally taxing process, but in Texas, as in many other states, there are specific legal grounds on which couples can seek dissolution of their marriage.

According to Womenslaw.org, There are seven grounds (or reasons) for divorce in Texas.

Only one reason is considered a no-fault ground, which means neither spouse blames the other for the divorce, but the other six grounds are fault-based, which means they require one spouse to blame the other for the divorce.

Remember, Before You Proceed To Contact An Attorney.

It's important to consult with a family law attorney to navigate the complexities of divorce proceedings and determine the most appropriate legal cause for your situation. Divorce is a significant life decision, and knowing the legal options available is the first step in the process.

Here Are The 7 Legal Reasons You Can Get A Divorce In Texas.

1. In-supportability

Often referred to as a "no-fault" divorce, in-supportability is the most common reason cited for divorce in Texas. It simply means that the marriage has become insupportable due to conflict and discord that cannot be resolved.

2. ADULTERY

When one spouse engages in an extramarital affair, the other spouse can file for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Proving adultery in court may require substantial evidence.

3. CRUELTY

A divorce can be sought if one spouse has been subjected to physical or emotional cruelty, making living together unbearable.

4. ABANDONMENT

If one spouse has left the marital home without consent and has been absent for at least one year, the abandoned spouse can seek a divorce based on abandonment.

5. LIVING APART

If spouses have lived separately without cohabitation for at least three years, they can file for divorce based on this ground.

6. CONVICTION OF A FELONY

If one spouse has been convicted of a felony and imprisoned for at least one year, the other spouse can file for divorce.

7. MENTAL HOSPITAL CONFINEMENT

If a spouse has been confined to a mental hospital for at least three years and it is unlikely that they will recover, the other spouse can file for divorce.
