In Texas, adultery is defined as voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone who is not their spouse. It can be proven with circumstantial evidence, but the proof must be clear and convincing. Mere suspicion or rumors are not enough.
Even if adultery is proven, the court may still grant the divorce on other grounds, such as insupportability, depending on the evidence presented.
Understanding how adultery is treated in Texas divorce law can help you decide whether it should be a focus in your case. An attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence or defend against such claims.
