There are many reasons why marriages begin to wane and ultimately lead to divorce. A few of the more common ones that might spring to mind are adultery, abuse, and even abandonment. We’ve all seen cases like these play out on television and in the media — some more loudly and contentious than others. But what if a couple quietly cites irreconcilable differences?
You may not have heard the term irreconcilable differences if you’ve never been divorced. But it is very common in Texas, given that state law makes it relatively easy to prove acceptable grounds (or reasons) to end a marriage.
Irreconcilable Differences — We Simply Don’t Get Along
There are two classifications to consider regarding reasons (or grounds) for divorce in Texas: No-Fault Grounds and At-Fault Grounds. At-fault grounds are what most of us are used to hearing about – perhaps a wife repeatedly cheated on her husband of 27 years, or a husband was verbally and physically abusive toward his wife and kids. No-fault grounds are the complete opposite, meaning neither spouse has to prove the other did something wrong to cause the breakup.
In other words, they can’t get along. Some states refer to this as incompatibility or an irremediable and irretrievable breakdown of the marriage relationship, and there’s no hope for reconciliation. In Texas, it’s called irreconcilable differences.
A few examples of irreconcilable differences include the following:
- Inability to agree on most things or on important things
- Personality conflicts
- Too much discord or conflict
- Financial problems
- Lack of communication
- Lack of intimacy
It is important to note that filing for divorce due to irreconcilable differences isn’t an option in every state. But it is in Texas.
