Divorce

Texas is a "no fault" state for divorce. The court may grant a divorce without regard to fault if the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation. The court may not grant a divorce before the 60th day after the date the divorce suit was filed. The court may grant a divorce in favor or one spouse if the other spouse: is guilty of cruel treatment toward the complaining spouse; has committed adultery; has been convicted of a felony and imprisoned for at least one year without pardon; abandoned the complaining spouse and been away for at least one year; has lived apart without cohabitation for at least three years; and, been confined in a mental hospital for three years and the hospitalized spouse's mental disorder is of such a degree that adjustment is unlikely and, if adjustment occurs, a relapse is probable.
