Austin Client’s Reviews

I worked with Rob on my complicated custody case and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful through the process and I received the outcome that was in the best interest of my child. I would not hesitate to hire them again. They have the staff to handle complex issues and offer both legal expertise and emotional validation. – Jennifer Z.
Rob Frazer is incredibly professional. He is very knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. My decree amendment was handled efficiently and without frivolous litigation. I will use Rob Frazer again in the future if needed. – Karina
Rob and Maria took care of an extremely sensitive and urgent legal matter of mine. They were compassionate, patient with my lack of legal understanding and always took their time with me. On the flip side, rob was fierce in the courtroom. If I ever need legal representation again, I know who to call. – Jaclyn
When it became clear that I needed a divorce, I turned to my friend Tom Ausley. He assigned my case to lawyer, Kristiana Butler, and paralegal, Renee Wettengal. They took a case that could have been very troublesome, and settled it on terms that I consider to be eminently fair. Calls were returned promptly. Explanations to me, the client, were clear. Assessments of the facts and applicable law were accurate. If you or your client needs a divorce, get Goranson Bain Ausley! – John J.
Kristiana and the paralegal staff did an excellent job navigating the complex time bound family situation that I had to face. Highly recommend! – V.S.
I had the privilege of working with Kristiana as my attorney and Renee as her paralegal at Goranson Bain Ausley law firm, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their outstanding service. Throughout my legal proceedings, they demonstrated unwavering dedication, care, and expertise. Kristiana and Renee patiently walked me through various options, providing clarity on complex legal matters and ensuring I understood every step of the process. Their commitment to saving me money wherever possible was truly commendable. – Arron H.
When I was at the worst and most difficult place in my life they were like family and helped me through in the best way ever. […] Knowing they were in my corner 24/7/365 gave me peace of mind to help me through the situation and I was able to sleep because just to put it simple and blunt…THEY ARE TRULY the best in Austin by far and I know they truly cared. – Eric C.
Kelly Caperton Fischer was a great representative through a tough experience. I would highly recommend her services. – Karl
Kelly and Andrea were knowledgeable, attentive and helpful as we worked through my divorce. – Lillian
Through every step, hurdle, setback and victory, I knew Ms. Bain was by my side. She navigated my case through the trial phase with precision. I am able to be an active, loving father because of the dedication and hard work of Lindley Bain. Retaining Ms. Bain was one of the best choices I have made…period. – Richard

Understanding Divorce in Texas

Is Texas a No-Fault State?

Yes, Texas allows no-fault divorces, but fault-based filings are also available in cases involving misconduct.

Filing for Divorce in Austin

To file for divorce in Austin and surrounding areas, you must have lived in Texas for six months and in the county for 90 days. If you share children, a SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship) will also be filed to address custody and support.

After the Divorce Petition

Once the petition is served, the respondent may file an answer or agree to terms in an uncontested divorce. If both parties agree, a final decree can be submitted for judicial approval. If agreement isn’t reached, we explore mediation, collaborative law, or litigation as needed. If litigation is required, our experienced attorneys will represent your best interests in court.
