By: Dutton C.S.H.B. No. 93
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to a divorce on the ground of insupportability.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 6.001, Family Code, is amended to read as
follows:
Sec. 6.001. INSUPPORTABILITY. On the petition of either
party to a marriage, the court may grant a divorce without regard to
fault if:
(1) the marriage has become insupportable because of
discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate
ends of the marital relationship and prevents any reasonable
expectation of reconciliation; and
(2) both parties to the marriage agree to the grant of
a divorce under this section.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to a suit for divorce that is filed on or after the effective date of
this Act. A suit for divorce filed before the effective date of
this Act is governed by the law in effect immediately before the
effective date of this Act, and the former law is continued in
effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
