All states allow for no-fault divorces, which are divorces based on the fact that the marriage is “irretrievably broken” and can no longer be supported. Some states are exclusively “no-fault” divorce states, meaning they don’t allow for the consideration of faults in a divorce. Texas offers divorce based on both "no-fault" and "fault" divorce grounds. The reasons are as follows:

Contested vs Uncontested Divorce in Texas

In the unfortunate event that you need to file for divorce, there will usually be a variety of decisions that must be made. One of these decisions is whether your divorce will be contested or uncontested.

In a nutshell, when both parties cannot agree on the terms of divorce it becomes contested. These terms can include issues such as custody, asset division, spousal support, etc. Since this type of divorce can be rather complex, a court hearing will be required.

If both parties can find a common ground and agree to the terms, then the divorce becomes uncontested. This type of divorce is recommended to those who want a smoother and quicker process, without a court hearing. It can also take half the time when compared to a contested divorce.
