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 on September 1, 2025, individuals filing for divorce will no longer be able to cite insupportability as a reason for dissolution of marriage.

The bill specifies that the repeal will only apply to divorce suits filed on or after the effective date, ensuring that any cases initiated before this date will still be governed by the existing law. This transition clause allows for a smooth implementation of the new legal framework while respecting the rights of individuals who have already begun divorce proceedings under the previous law.

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