Grounds for Divorce in Texas

When it comes to the grounds of divorce in the state of Texas, the law is exactly the same for both straight and same-sex couples. In order to get a divorce, you do not have to prove that any specific situation has occurred. So long as one partner truly believes that the relationship is unsalvageable, then the court agrees that this divorce can legally take place.

In certain situations, there are other “grounds” for divorce which count as being the fault of the other spouse. These grounds include:

• Cases of adultery
• Utter abandonment for at least a full year
• Cruelty and abuse
• Being convicted of a felony
• Being committed to a mental hospital or institute
