Divorce Advice From Experienced Family Law Attorneys

Rachel Rizzieri Feist | June 19, 2025

Starting the divorce process can feel overwhelming: Emotions run high, and the uncertainty of how it will unfold is enough to make anyone feel anxious. In these times, it’s natural to seek out divorce advice from someone who has seen it all before. At Goranson Bain Ausley, experienced family law attorneys like Rachel Rizzieri Feist believe that informed decisions begin with thoughtful guidance, which is why we’re happy to provide consultations that help people make the best decisions for their needs.

What Is the Most Important Piece of Divorce Advice?

The most important advice for a divorce is to envision the life you want beyond the divorce and to stay focused on your long-term goals. By clearly defining your priorities early on—whether they center around parenting, financial security, or simply peace of mind—you empower your attorney to offer guidance throughout the process that aligns with what truly matters to you. Thoughtful planning can help ensure that the decisions made during your divorce set the foundation for a future that reflects your hopes and needs.

Where Should You Get Divorce Law Advice?

When facing divorce, it’s natural to seek advice from friends or Internet sources, but it’s important to remember that these sources can’t provide specific guidance based on your unique circumstances. Texas family law is complex, and its application varies case-by-case based on many factors. While reading articles or asking friends about their divorce experiences can provide insights, the best option is to consult a knowledgeable divorce attorney who can provide guidance tailored to you. Speaking with an experienced legal professional who understands the nuances of your case will always yield the most valuable guidance.

How Do You Choose the Right Divorce Lawyer?

Choosing the right attorney is a crucial step in navigating divorce. Take the time to thoroughly evaluate your options: ask for referrals, read reviews, and meet with attorneys to determine whether their experience aligns with your goals. The best choice is someone who truly listens to your concerns, understands the future you’re working toward, and has the skills necessary to help you achieve it. Thoughtful selection now can make all the difference.
