At least three years’ absence of cohabitation
Felony imprisonment of a spouse, improvement for one year in a state penitentiary or that of another state, without having been pardoned at the time of the filing of the suit

Texas is a no-fault divorce jurisdiction, meaning that any spouse who wants a divorce is entitled to get one under Texas Law.

Property and Debt Distribution

Texas divorce courts divide community property and debts according to what is just and right in your case. A decree will detail how to distribute your assets, including but not limited to your house, car, bank account, retirement accounts, businesses, rental properties, and the like including separate property, if it exists. Separate property includes property a spouse received by devise, gift, or descent, property a spouse owned before marriage, and anything a spouse recovers in a personal injury claim unless the recovery is for a loss of earning capacity during the marriage.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Alimony is not automatic in Texas. If you ask for maintenance, you may receive it if you qualify for it. To qualify, you must prove your financial needs and a disability, a marriage lasting at least 10 years, that your spouse has committed family violence, or that childcare needs prevent you from earning sufficient income.

Child Custody and Support

When children are involved, a divorce decree establishes a custody arrangement and orders child support payments from one parent to the other. Custody determinations are based on the best interests of the child. In a custody decree, the court cannot discriminate against a parent based on gender. Custody determines where the child will live and who will have rights to make decisions regarding the child. While a child is still a minor, a divorced spouse needs to pay child support. These payments are based on a spouse’s net income or earning potential if intentionally underemployed.

The specifics of your decree will depend on your unique situation and any agreements you reached with your spouse.
