In Texas, divorce can be filed on both fault and no-fault grounds. No-fault divorce is commonly based on "insupportability," indicating that the marriage has become insupportable due to discord or conflict. The divorce process involves the division of community property, determination of spousal support, and, if applicable, arrangements for child custody and support. It's important to note that Texas is a community property state, meaning that assets acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally unless a different arrangement is deemed fair.

Texas uses the term "conservatorship" instead of custody. There are two types: managing conservatorship (legal custody) and possessory conservatorship (physical custody). The court typically appoints both parents as joint managing conservators, allowing them to share decision-making responsibilities. However, if one parent is deemed unfit, the court may grant sole managing conservatorship to the other parent. The primary consideration in these decisions is the best interest of the child.

Child support in Texas is calculated based on the noncustodial parent's net resources and the number of children requiring support. The Texas Family Code provides guidelines to determine the appropriate amount, but courts may deviate from these guidelines if circumstances warrant. Factors such as the child's needs, educational expenses, and healthcare costs can influence the final support amount. Both parents are expected to contribute to the child's well-being, ensuring their financial needs are met.
