Life-Changing Decisions Deserve Thoughtful Guidance

Divorce isn’t something anyone plans on — but sometimes, it becomes the path toward healing, clarity, and a better future. At Fuentez Law, we understand the emotional and financial weight of this decision. If you’re considering divorce, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Here are key considerations before filing — and how we can help.

1. Assess Where You Stand Emotionally and Financially

Before any legal paperwork is filed, take inventory:

  • Are you emotionally ready for this step?

  • Do you know your financial situation?

  • Have you considered what’s best for your children, if any?

Taking time to understand your current reality sets the foundation for a smoother legal process and better outcomes.

2. Know Your Rights — and Your Risks

Many people enter divorce with misconceptions:

  • “If I move out, I’ll lose my house.”

  • “I’ll automatically get full custody.”

  • “We’ve agreed verbally — that’s good enough.”

The truth is, family law in Texas is complex. Legal counsel ensures you don’t give up rights you didn’t know you had.

3. Protect Your Digital and Financial Footprint

From social media to joint bank accounts, many things can affect your case. Before filing, consider:

  • Changing passwords on personal accounts

  • Creating a secure communication plan

  • Speaking with an attorney before making major financial moves

Even one post or transaction can become evidence. Think strategically — and when in doubt, stay quiet.

4. Explore Alternatives to Litigation

Not every divorce ends in a courtroom. Mediation and collaborative divorce can reduce stress, save money, and help both parties feel heard.

At Fuentez Law, we explore all resolution options and help you determine the right fit for your situation.

5. Meet with a Divorce Attorney Early

Even if you’re not 100% certain about divorcing, speaking to a lawyer can provide clarity. It doesn’t mean you’re committing to divorce — it means you’re getting informed.

We’ll discuss:

  • Custody scenarios

  • Property and debt division

  • Temporary orders and protections

  • What to expect, emotionally and legally
