Fault in Divorce<\/h2>\n

\"iStock-1163040189\"Divorces may be granted without fault, but Texas still allows divorce to be granted on fault-based grounds in certain situations<\/strong>.\u00a0 For example, a Texas divorce may be granted in one spouse\u2019s favor if the other committed \u201ccruel treatment\u201d that makes the parties continuing to live together \u201cinsupportable.\u201d Tex. Fam. Code Ann. \u00a7 6.002<\/a>.\u00a0 Physical abuse can constitute cruel treatment, but physical abuse is not required for a Texas divorce court to find cruel treatment.\u00a0 When the court finds fault-based grounds for divorce, such as cruel treatment, the court may consider the fault in dividing the property. Specifically, the court can award a disproportionate share of the community estate to the spouse who is not at fault. A husband recently challenged<\/a> such a disproportionate property division in his divorce.<\/p>\n

The wife said the husband stopped paying attention to her after his business partnership went sour.\u00a0 She also said he had called her names and accused her of cheating, in addition to being violent against her around four or five times.<\/p>\n

The wife alleged that, during one incident, the husband had closed a door on her arm after he had filed for divorce.\u00a0 She called the police, and the husband agreed to leave.\u00a0 The husband, however, claimed that he had simply closed the door after the wife left the room, but she forced it back open.\u00a0 He claimed the door hit him, then whipped back toward her and hit her elbow.\u00a0 He said he agreed to leave for a few hours after the police arrived, but ultimately decided to leave permanently so their child would not see them argue.<\/p>\n
