Same Sex Divorce Requirements in Texas
Just like heterosexual couples, same-sex couples need to have grounds to get a divorce.
Lawful grounds for divorce in Texas include:
- Cruelty
- Adultery
- Abandonment
- Insupportability or irreconcilable differences
- Living apart from each other for at least three years
If you are not sure which of these grounds apply to your case, or whether you meet the criteria for a same-sex divorce, don’t worry. A gay and lesbian divorce lawyer can help you determine how to proceed.
