Texas is a no fault state, but fault can be considered in affecting an
unequal division of the community estate.

Hi everyone. I just read that New York is becoming a no fault state and
that there are now 49 no fault states. I think they must mean that you no
longer have to prove fault in order to qualify for a divorce.
However, I am doing some research on this, and discovered that many states
have provisions wherein fault regularly influences awards. For example, if
there is fault, spousal support is largely off the table.
I was wondering if you could let me know whether or not in your
jurisdiction, fault is a serious consideration..
Thanks!
