Sometimes, Love Can't Keep Folks Together And They Are Better Apart.

Divorce can be a challenging and emotionally taxing process, but in Texas, as in many other states, there are specific legal grounds on which couples can seek dissolution of their marriage.

According to Womenslaw.org, There are seven grounds (or reasons) for divorce in Texas.

Only one reason is considered a no-fault ground, which means neither spouse blames the other for the divorce, but the other six grounds are fault-based, which means they require one spouse to blame the other for the divorce.

Remember, Before You Proceed To Contact An Attorney.
