The bill, H.B. No. 3401, proposes the repeal of insupportability as a ground for divorce by eliminating Section 6.001 from the Family Code. This change signifies that couples seeking a divorce will no longer be able to cite insupportability as a reason for dissolution of marriage.

The repeal will only apply to divorce suits filed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Any divorce proceedings initiated before this date will still be governed by the existing law, allowing the former provisions to remain in effect for those cases.

Statutes affected:
Introduced: Family Code 6.001 (Family Code 6)
