Is Texas a Fault or No-Fault Divorce State?

When considering divorce in Texas, many wonder if it operates under a fault or no-fault system. The answer is both. In Texas, couples can choose between fault and no-fault divorces, offering flexibility based on the specific circumstances surrounding the end of the marriage.

– Understanding No-Fault Divorce in Texas: In Texas, the most common route is the no-fault divorce. Here, neither party needs to prove that the other did something wrong. The term “insupportable” often describes a marriage that is no longer viable due to discord or conflict. This approach avoids blaming either spouse or simply acknowledges that reconciliation is not possible.
