Getting a Divorce in Texas
There are a few key things you must be aware of when getting a divorce in Texas. This is just a general overview and your case may be different. And as always, our divorce lawyers at Fetty Firm are available to answer any and all questions regarding your divorce case.
Grounds for a divorce in Texas include adultery, abandonment, three years of confinement for incurable insanity, felony conviction and imprisonment for over one year, cruel and inhumane treatment, and the most common one, insupportability. The overwhelming majority of divorces of Texas are filed under insupportability, which is sometimes popularly referred to as “irreconcilable differences”.
In addition:
- The divorce process is lengthy. Some divorce proceedings wrap up in as little as 2-3 months. Others can take as long as 18 to 24 months, depending on the complexities of the case and the level disagreement between the divorcees.
- Texas does not recognize legal separation. In other words, even though you and your spouse may have “separated”, any property or debts acquire while still legally married is still regarded as community property or community debt, respectively.
- It is always best to consult with an attorney when going through divorce proceedings due to the difficulty, complexity, and the depth of the process. Rashelle Fetty, a Tarrant County divorce lawyer with extensive experience, is here to help.
