Otoh, I knew of one case over 25 years ago in Dallas County in which the husband left the wife and said he had become homosexual, and filed for no-fault divorce.
This woman had a lot of faith, and contested the divorce and demanded a jury trial. She told the jury that she did not believe the marriage was irreconcilable, and the jury believed her, so his request for divorce was denied.
They reconciled, and were back as husband and wife, the last I heard. I have not kept up with them in recent years, however.
I would have to say, though, that in over 99% of the cases of no-fault divorce, the divorce is granted on the word of one spouse only.
