Having as much education on the issue is important, especially if you have children. Understanding how to manage addiction issues, where they stem from, how you can help your partner, how you can help yourself, and how you can help your children can help you lessen the impact of divorce for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember: you aren&#8217;t alone. Look to see what kind of local resources are available to you. Finding counselors, finding support groups, and literature on addiction can help you feel empowered and ready to tackle the road ahead. And if you need assistance finding resources, Goranson Bain Ausley is here to help you along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"embed-container video-single\"><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RLLF1XzbPqo?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more\">Learn More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A partner in Goranson Bain Ausley, <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/attorney\/aimee-m-pingenot\/\">Aimee Pingenot Key<\/a> is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and has been selected to \u201cBest Lawyers in Dallas: Family Law by D Magazine\u201d, 2017, 2019 and 2020, and named to the Texas Super Lawyers Top 100: Texas Super Lawyers, Top 100: Dallas\/ Fort Worth Super Lawyers and Top 50: Women Texas Super Lawyers lists, Thomson Reuters, 2017-2019, and has been included in The Best Lawyers in America\u00a9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are preparing to divorce a spouse with substance abuse issues, please contact <a href=\"https:\/\/gbfamilylaw.com\/attorney\/aimee-m-pingenot\/\">Aimee Pingenot Key<\/a> to schedule a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you are ready to divorce a spouse who has a substance abuse or alcohol abuse problem, you want to be as prepared as possible.
