Learn today from Mr.Monahan, managing partner at Turner-Monahan PLLC, what a no-fault divorce means in Texas.

 

 

 

 

A no-fault divorce right now in the state of Texas means you can get divorced without having a fault.

 

The divorce will state that the grounds are insupportability between the parties, meaning that the marriage is no longer supportable with the two parties living together, residing together or being married.

 

There has been talk about changing the state laws from no fault to a fault state, however, that has not occurred at this time.

 

There are cases where you have faults. This can include if there’s any deception in the marriage, fraud in the marriage, or any infidelity issues.

 

If you have any of those issues, you want to discuss those with your attorney before you file so they understand how they’re going to approach drafting your pleadings and getting filed.
