Divorce For Women Breadwinners

Forge A New Future

Professional women like lawyers, doctors, company executives, psychologists, business owners, and financial advisors sometimes achieve career success at a cost. They often earn more than their husbands, manage the family’s finances, and juggle many other aspects of life. They value efficiency and responsiveness. When it comes to divorce, they usually prefer an approach that is quick and discreet — after all, “time is money.” Here at Alexandra Geczi, PLLC, we’re here to offer the exact divorce services you want and need.

What Makes our Team Diffrent

Alexandra Geczi PLLC is a law firm founded by a woman for women. Alexandra Geczi, a family law attorney and mother, saw a distinct imbalance in the relationships and divorces she handled.

“Women are often undervalued and underappreciated for their contributions to a marriage. What is worse is that they accept this as normal! My mission is to educate and empower women about their personal worth and legal rights in the divorce process.” – Alexandra Geczi

She founded Alexandra Geczi PLLC to tip the scales and give women the support, guidance, and power they deserve in the divorce process.

Why Chose US

Empowering Stories

We have helped countless women through divorce and beyond, staying in touch with them for years to ensure that their transition into a new life has gone as smoothly as possible. Some of those women have chosen to share their success stories to help others pursue the life they deserve. Laura* is one of them. Laura is a business owner and mother of two. She referred cases to us for years, but then one day she needed to make a tough decision about her own marriage. As a professional, it was important to her that we remain discreet and strategic throughout the process. And, as the household breadwinner, she wanted to get the divorce done quickly, preserve her hard-earned assets, and move on with her life. Today, with the divorce behind her, Laura and her business are thriving. She’s living up to more of her potential, helping other businesses thrive, and we’re excited about her future. And although single motherhood is tough, Laura is tougher. She meets each challenge with optimism and gratitude. We love that we got to help Laura through a difficult time in her life.

Here’s what Laura had to say about working with us:

“For many years, I’ve referred friends and potential clients to Alex. Then, a few years ago, I needed help with my own divorce.

Alex was professional, smart, practical, responsive, and incredibly supportive without being even a little bit patronizing. That’s exactly what I needed as a client.

I know nothing about the family courts or divorce proceedings. Alex patiently responded to my questions and explained the process, providing the clear advice I needed to ensure that things worked smoothly — without making me feel “handled.” She even had practical tips for getting me through the hearing, which was – without question – one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Finally, she managed the cost efficiently.”

If you have concerns about your own divorce, know that you are not alone. The team at Alexandra Geczi PPLC has helped many women like you find freedom and courage, and you can find more inspirational stories on our client journeys page.

Testimonials

“I have found Alexandra to be not just an extremely sharp and knowledgeable attorney, but realized underneath the soft exterior lurked a tough-as-nails advocate who could play hardball with the best, if the situation so demanded.”

Mediator

“I have known Ms. Geczi for years and consider her not only a colleague, but a friend. Her attention to detail, research and resources, and sincerity in her work are unparalleled. She focuses on a very contentious area of the law and approaches it with compassion and candor. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent family attorney.”

Advice For the Divorce Process

Working with a legal team you trust will make your divorce easier, but it can still be a difficult process. To help you stay sane and get the most you can out of the process, we’ve collected some of our best tips for navigating your divorce.

BE INVOLVED

As a successful professional and the breadwinner of your family, you are likely used to being in control. When it comes to divorce, it’s better to let your legal team take the reins. You should stay informed and involved through your case, but listen for the instructions and guidance offered to you by your attorney. Open communication and flexibility are essential to a smooth transition.

ACCEPT HELP

Another thing many women struggle with? Accepting help. Your divorce lawyer will handle the legal proceedings, and if you chose well, they will also offer to connect you with other resources to help you through the process. A divorce can be difficult in many ways, and learning to lean on counselors, coaches, real estate agents, and others when you need it will help you achieve a better outcome.

UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS

You can leave the details of divorce to the experts, but you should empower yourself with a basic understanding of the overall Texas divorce process. Alexandra Geczi PLLC is here to help with our complimentary guide, “Divorce Explained: An Overview of the Texas Divorce Process.” Learn about the first steps to take, what issues you can expect, ways to reach agreements, what to do when you can’t agree, and how a case is finalized. You can also explore our blog to find even more resources and updates about going through a divorce.

LEAN ON YOUR TEAM

If you ever have questions or concerns about your divorce, you should always be able to get in touch with a member of your team. Here at Alexandra Geczi PLLC, you are always our first priority. We encourage you to take advantage of all the resources and services we offer, from our guide to divorce for women professionals to divorce planning and mediation.

What Should I Bring?

For a case evaluation or initial consultation, you don’t need to bring anything with you. However, you may do so if you like. If you have been served with papers, or there are prior orders in your case, bring those.

For a strategy session, we will provide you with a list of documents we hope to see, which you may or may not have access to. It may be helpful to bring recent tax returns, bank statements, and pay stubs. If you feel that there are other documents we should look at, bring those as well. Once we’ve had a chance to review the important documents in your case, we can formulate an action plan for you.

Already Have An Appointment?

Once you’ve scheduled an appointment, be sure to complete our initial intake form prior to your first meeting with our team and make payment as needed.
We look forward to meeting you!
