Texas Divorce Basics
Texas is a no-fault divorce state; however, fault-based claims are also available. One spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the filing county (e.g., Dallas) for at least 90 days. Divorce may include a “Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship” when children are involved.
