Grounds for Divorce in Texas

Texas recognizes both no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce.

No-fault: Most Texas divorces are based on “insupportability,” meaning that the marriage has become intolerable due to conflict or discord, with no reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
Fault-based: In some cases, one spouse may allege fault on grounds such as cruelty, adultery, abandonment, conviction of a felony, or long-term confinement in a mental hospital. Fault can influence property division or spousal support, making legal counsel especially important.

Key Issues to Resolve

Before a divorce can be finalized, several significant issues must be addressed, including:

Division of property and debt. Texas is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided equitably.
Child custody and support. Parenting plans, decision-making responsibilities, and child support obligations must be established.
Spousal support (alimony). In some cases, one spouse may be entitled to post-divorce maintenance, depending on financial need and other statutory factors.

The Divorce Process in Texas

The process begins when one spouse files an Original Petition for Divorce with the district court in their county of residence. The other spouse is then served with legal papers and has the opportunity to respond to them. Texas imposes a 60-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized, though complex cases generally take longer.

Divorcing couples may reach agreements through negotiation or mediation, or proceed to trial if disputes remain unresolved. Once all issues are settled, the court issues a Final Decree of Divorce, which legally ends the marriage and outlines each party’s rights and obligations.

Why Legal Representation Matters

Even straightforward divorces involve significant legal and financial consequences. Having a knowledgeable attorney protects your rights, prevents mistakes, and helps you achieve fair and sustainable outcomes. Without guidance, you may unintentionally agree to unfair terms that affect your future income, custody arrangements, or ownership of essential assets.

Ashley Weathersby Law offers experienced, personal representation to help you navigate this process efficiently while protecting what matters most.
