The bill, H.B. No. 3401, proposes the repeal of insupportability as a ground for divorce in Texas by eliminating Section 6.001 of the Family Code. This change means that, starting from the effective date of the Act, which is September 1, 2025, insupportability will no longer be a valid reason for filing for divorce.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the repeal will only apply to divorce suits filed on or after the effective date. Any divorce proceedings initiated before this date will still be governed by the existing law, ensuring that the previous legal framework remains in effect for those cases.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Family Code 6.001 (Family Code 6)
