Bill > HB3401

This bill proposes to repeal Section 6.001 of the Texas Family Code, which currently allows for "insupportability" as a ground for divorce. Insupportability is a no-fault divorce provision that essentially means the marriage has become unworkable due to discord or conflict that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship. The bill would eliminate this specific grounds for divorce, potentially making it more difficult for couples to dissolve their marriage. However, the bill includes a transitional provision that ensures any divorce suits filed before the effective date (September 1, 2025) can still use insupportability as a grounds for divorce under the previous law. This means the repeal would only apply to new divorce filings on or after September 1, 2025, giving current couples and legal practitioners time to prepare for the change in divorce law.
