Yes, Texas is a no-fault divorce state which means you don't have to state specific grounds for wanting your divorce such as adultery, abandonment, cruel treatment, etc. Essentially, you can choose the neutral ground of "insupportability" which means you and your spouse are no longer able to get along and do not want to be married anymore because of that conflict. For specific advice about your divorce, please consult a local attorney.

Florida is a no fault state, all it takes is one party stating the marriage is over and the divorce will be granted. A jury trial is not possible.

Yes, Nevada is a no-fault divorce state, a claim of irreconcilable differences is sufficient to obtain a divorce. You are not entitled to a jury in a divorce case, although if you have tort claims against your spouse, you can argue that you are entitled to a jury, although the Family Division will most likely deny your request and send you to a different court to pursue the tort claims.

At the present, Kansas is both a "no-fault" and "fault" grounds State. In a "no-fault" divorce, the ground is simply that one spouse is incompatible with the other spouse, which means that the parties do not get along. In Kansas, current law provides that a divorcing spouse does not need to provide any facts that has led up to a breakup. This permits married couples to divorce without being forced to air their dirty laundry. In Kansas, the "fault" grounds only include: (1) failure to perform a material marital duty or obligation, and (2) incompatibility by reason of mental illness or mental incapacity of one or both spouses. The grounds for divorce in Kansas can be found in K.S.A. 23-2701. "Jury trials" in Kansas for actions strictly involving a divorce do not exist. If a divorce trial is required, it is a "bench" trial (i.e., heard before a district court judge).

In Louisiana, fault isn't typically an issue in a divorce. Adultery or conviction of a crime punishable by hard labor can be grounds for an immediate divorce, and fault is relevant for purposes of an award of permanent spousal support. Otherwise, the only issue in a divorce is whether the parties have lived separate and apart for the required length of time to be awarded a divorce. As far as your comment that you're considering a jury trial, there's no entitlement to a jury on matters involving divorce, custody, etc. All such matters are heard by a judge.

Wisconsin is a 'no-fault' divorce state. The ground for a divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, which simply means 'I want a divorce.' There are no jury trials in divorce cases. Good Luck.

If you mean can a spouse STOP a divorce from taking place, the answer is no. Can a spouse slow down the process? That is always possible depending upon the discovery that is done. Good luck.

1. Yes, North Carolina is a no-fault divorce state. This means you do not have to site any specific grounds in order to be eligible for a divorce. You only need 1 year of separation. 2. A trial on absolute divorce cannot have a jury trial. Jury trials are only available for certain issues in family law, and divorce is not one of those issues. Possibly for a hearing to determine date of separation, but not for the divorce itself.

There is no such thing as a jury trial for divorce in any state that I am aware of - these cases are heard by judges. A "no fault" divorce means that the parties do not have to prove fault to get out of their marital relationship - it is enough to say "irreconcilable differences" or in Nebraska, "the marriage is irretrievably broken."
