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 both parties to the marriage agree that 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.
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, 2021.
