Am I Really Married?

Vertical Divider
Picture
The reasons why couples get divorced may be complex and layered, but under the law, there are only seven justifications.
Common Law Marriage In Texas
There are seven grounds for divorce that are provided for in the Texas family code. Many times attorneys will plead for more than one ground such as combining in supportability grounds and cruelty grounds. It isn't necessary to prove both grounds to pour to the court however. Proof of only one of the grounds is necessary to establish the divorce. If for example you expect to be able to have some proof of cruelty or adultery these may be included in the petition Not necessarily as grounds to justify the divorce, but for strategic purposes such as trying to get a larger award of the marital property.
