In Texas, a no-fault divorce allows couples to dissolve their marriage without assigning blame to either party. This means that neither spouse is held responsible for the breakdown of the marriage. On the other hand, a fault-based divorce requires one spouse to prove that the other is at fault due to reasons such as cruelty, adultery, abandonment, felony conviction, or mental hospital confinement. The choice between no-fault and fault-based divorce can impact the legal proceedings and the outcome of the divorce.
