You go to court to find out the specifics of the fraud allegations. The divorce petition under the Texas Family Code is not required to specify specific facts.

§ 6.402. Pleadings


(a) A petition in a suit for dissolution of a marriage is sufficient without the necessity of specifying the underlying evidentiary facts if the petition alleges the grounds relied on substantially in the language of the statute.


(b) Allegations of grounds for relief, matters of defense, or facts relied on for a temporary order that are stated in short and plain terms are not subject to special exceptions because of form or sufficiency.


(c) The court shall strike an allegation of evidentiary fact from the pleadings on the motion of a party or on the court's own motion.
