I did a quick search Kev. Dont place all your money on that bet.
What are the grounds for a divorce? Texas law allows for "no-fault" divorces. However, if one party is at "fault" for the breakup of the marriage, the court may take that into consideration in determining what is an "equitable" division of the property. For that reason, the other spouse may want to plead fault grounds in their petition. The statutory grounds for divorce are: Adultery, Cruel treatment (that renders further living together insupportable), Abandonment (for at least one year with the intent to abandon), Long-term incarceration (more than one year), Confinement to a mental hospital for at least 3 years, Living apart for at least 3 years, or Insupportability (which is the no-fault ground), defined as discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
Bottomline. Either way the girls loose. What's best for them is for both parents to be civil and happy. You need to find what makes you happy with out her so you can be the best co-parent you can.
Thanks Antlers. When I saw the post about the horse it just came to me.
