Fault vs. No-Fault Divorce 

Texas law allows the spouse petitioning for divorce to choose whether they seek a fault or no-fault divorce. A no-fault divorce means blame doesn’t fall on one person or the other. Both parties agree that they can no longer sustain the marriage. 

During a fault divorce, one spouse typically blames the other for doing something wrong, resulting in the marriage ending. One of the most common reasons for pursuing an at-fault divorce is adultery. You must have proof that your spouse is to blame for the divorce. A court could distribute assets and make decisions based on fault. 

Common Grounds for a Divorce in Texas 

You must establish grounds to file for divorce. These grounds are valid reasons for dissolving a marriage. An experienced attorney from BB Law Group PLLC can determine which matches your situation and the appropriate legal strategy to use during your case. 

The seven grounds for divorce include: 

• Adultery – Adultery occurs when a person engages in voluntary sexual intercourse with someone who isn’t their wife or husband. You must have evidence of the affair to file for divorce on the grounds of adultery. 
• Insupportability – This is a common reason for a no-fault divorce. It means conflict or discord has made the marriage insupportable, preventing a reasonable reconciliation. 
• Abandonment – You can use abandonment for a reason to divorce your spouse if they left for at least one year, intending to abandon you. 
• Cruelty – This means one spouse has treated the other or their children in an abusive or cruel manner, making it impossible for the couple to continue to live together. 
• Living apart – You could file for a divorce if you or your spouse haven’t cohabitated for at least three years. 

• Felony conviction – If your spouse has been convicted of a felony offense, served imprisonment, and has not been pardoned during your marriage, you could use this as grounds for divorcing them. 
• Confinement in a mental hospital – The court might grant a divorce if one person has been confined to a private or state mental hospital when the other filed. It is unlikely that their mental state will improve, or if it does, relapse is probable. 

How BB Law Group PLLC Can Help During Your Divorce 

When you’re going through a divorce, making seemingly simple decisions can seem like an uphill battle. Disputes often arise that you and your spouse must try to resolve. If you can’t agree on the terms of your divorce, lawyers and the court must get involved. 

BB Law Group PLLC can represent you during common issue divorcing couples faces, such as: 

Property Division 

Texas follows community property laws. That means a couple jointly owns assets acquired during the marriage. The only exception is if you acquired property before getting married or received something as an inheritance, a gift, or through a personal injury settlement, excluding compensation for lost wages. 

The court will divide the property based on a range of factors, such as: 

• Whether the asset is considered community or separate property 
• Age of each spouse 
• Duration of the marriage 
• Whether one person has a severe illness 
• Income of each individual 
• Which spouse has primary custody if children are involved 

The court will also divide any debts a couple has at the time of the divorce based on the specific circumstances. 

Child Custody and Support 

If you and your spouse have children, you need to decide who will get custody. Four types of custody arrangements you can seek in Texas are: 

• Temporary child custody – This allows one spouse to live with the kids during divorce proceedings. 
• Sole custody – With sole custody, one parent resides with the children and can decide on their healthcare, education, and other needs. 
• Joint custody – This gives both parents the responsibility for the care and decisions in their children’s lives. 
• Split custody – If there are multiple children, one parent can live with one kid, and the other parent can live with the other if you decide on a split custody agreement. 

The spouse not living with the children could be allowed visitation based on the circumstances. Visitation could involve living and spending time with the kids on a specified schedule. That person might also have to pay child support to meet basic needs, such as: 

• Food 
• Housing 
• Education 
• Medical insurance 
• Clothing 

Spousal Support 

Texas law refers to spousal support at spousal maintenance. You can only seek financial support from your spouse if you meet specific requirements following the dissolution of the marriage. For example, if you have a disability and can’t earn an income, you could receive monthly payments in an amount the court decides.
