What Are Grounds for Divorce in Texas?
Like many other states, Texas offers divorce based on both no-fault and fault grounds.
If a couple chooses to file for a no-fault divorce, then they don’t have to prove fault in the other spouse. The divorce can be granted if there are “irreconcilable differences” making the marriage “insupportable”. This is the most common way for married couples to file for divorce as it is usually the simplest and fastest process.
However, spouses have additional “fault” options to use when filing for divorce. These include:
- Separation
- Mental incapacity
- Cruelty
- Desertion
- Felony
- Adultery
To learn more about the various grounds for divorce in Texas, don’t hesitate to contact our firm for additional guidance.
Essential Divorce Preparation Checklist
The best way to approach your divorce settlement is as a business transaction. It might be challenging to separate the emotional component of feeling hurt and betrayed, but it will help to put together a checklist for the settlement.
- The first thing your attorney will want you to accomplish is to set up your own checking account. You want to get your own financial system up and running. It might help to set aside some cash in a secure place because joint bank accounts and credit cards could be put on hold.
- You and your attorney will work out with your spouse how to handle those joint accounts. The simplest approach is to split the funds and close the accounts. Even though you might be carrying debt, you should also close out the shared credit cards right away. You can then work out an agreement to pay off the debt. From this moment forward any debt that is incurred should be your own.
