Adultery and Divorce
Adultery is the second leading cause of divorce; only financial issues are cited more frequently. But if the adultery in a marriage leads one partner to seek a divorce, there are a few factors to consider before filing the legal documents.
In Texas, adultery is grounds for divorce, but whether or not it is practical to list adultery as the reason for the filing is questionable. To find out more about how adultery may affect your divorce proceeding, contact the Conroe divorce attorneys of Garg & Associates, P.C. at 281-362-2865 today.
Facts about Adultery and Divorce Proceedings
Before you make the decision of whether or not to list adultery as the grounds for divorce in the state of Texas, consider the following:
- Texas is a no-fault state – this means that you can obtain a divorce without alleging or proving anything. All that needs to be stated is that your spouse and you are incompatible.
- Stating that a spouse was guilty of adultery and that that was the main cause for the split will require a trial in order to prove that the statement was true. If it cannot be proven true, the divorce may not be granted.
- If you believe that it will greatly affect the other divorce proceedings such as division of property, alimony and custody, it may be beneficial to list adultery as the cause of divorce.
Even if adultery was the cause of divorce, considering the pros and cons of listing it on the official document in Texas is vital. An experienced divorce attorney can help you determine the right option for your situation.
