Relating to repealing insupportability as a ground for divorce.
HB 3401 would remove "insupportability" (marital incompatibility) as a legal ground for divorce in Texas. It applies only to divorce cases filed on or after September 1, 2025, while existing cases filed before that date would continue under current law. The bill repeals Section 6.001 of the Texas Family Code, which previously listed insupportability as a valid reason for dissolution of marriage. This change affects Texas residents filing new divorce petitions after the effective date, but does not impact ongoing or prior cases.
