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, 2019. |
