Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, understanding your rights and responsibilities under Texas law is essential. Here are key points to know:
- Texas Residency Requirement for Divorce: You do not have to be married in Texas to file for divorce here. However, one spouse must have been a resident of Texas for at least 180 days and a resident of the county where the divorce is filed for at least 90 days.
- Fault and No-Fault Grounds for Divorce: Texas allows for both no-fault and fault-based divorces. Most divorces are filed on the no-fault ground of "insupportability." However, fault grounds—such as adultery, cruelty, felony conviction, or abandonment—may come into play in contested cases.
- Community Property Division: As a community property state, Texas generally divides property acquired during the marriage between the spouses. Property acquired before marriage, by gift, or inheritance is considered separate and not subject to division. However, community property does not guarantee a 50/50 split, and disputes over property are common in contested cases.
- Best Interests of the Child for Custody & Visitation: If children are involved, custody and visitation will be central to your divorce. Texas law bases child custody decisions on the "best interest of the child" standard. We are here to answer your questions and protect your parental rights throughout the process.
