An attorney can be an invaluable ally during the divorce and family law process. Filing for divorce is about more than meeting the minimum requirements set by state law and could have a tremendous impact on your financial future as well as your relationship with your minor children.
Child custody issues are often some of the most challenging aspects of divorce and family law. Divorcing or unmarried parents do not always see eye-to-eye on what is best for their children. An Atlanta family lawyer can help you fight for what is fair and reach common ground with your child’s other parent.
An Atlanta, Georgia family law attorney can also assist with the division of assets during divorce. Before a judge can divide your marital assets, you must determine what these assets are worth. Our team can work with appraisal experts to put values on properties and help ensure you get your fair share of the marital estate.
Many divorcing spouses also wonder about whether they’re entitled to any kind of support post-divorce. Alimony—also known as spousal support—is not always granted following a divorce. Many factors can contribute to a judge’s decision to award spousal support in a divorce case, so it is best to let an attorney present evidence in an organized and strategic way.
Otherwise, parents—divorced and otherwise—have an obligation to provide for their children. The non-custodial parent will likely have to pay post-divorce support to the custodial parent to help cover the cost of raising their child. Working with an attorney can help ensure a fair outcome in your family law or divorce case.
Deciding to divorce is one of the most difficult decisions you may face. Beyond the emotional pain that is often involved in this decision, a divorcing couple must also determine how to divide their shared assets including finances, property, and children. Moreover, if you are not considering every potential aspect, you can end up overlooking important details that cost you.
If you are divorcing, you need someone who can fiercely advocate on your behalf. A dedicated Atlanta, Georgia lawyer can help you reach a thorough divorce agreement that considers all your interests.
For many couples, their “happily ever after” was not meant to be—at least not together. But divorce does not have to mean the end of the family. Divorce does not have to imply a troubled or bleak future. Divorce does not have to mean the end of your happily ever after.

Our experienced Atlanta, Georgia divorce and family lawyers understand that divorce may be a complicated, emotional time for you. Many important decisions need to be made that consider your current situation as well as your future.
An attorney can work to help you emerge from your divorce in a better financial, legal, and personal situation than you may have imagined. Call today to schedule a consultation.
It is generally a good idea to have an attorney to ensure that you are protected during the divorce. If children are involved, an attorney is really the only way to make sure that all parties involved are protected and provided for throughout the process. If you do not have a child and/or have few assets, you may still want to hire an attorney to protect your interests and to ensure that no irreversible problems are created.
An uncontested divorce is one in which there is no opposition to the terms of the settlement or to the petition, and both parties are in full agreement. This allows both parties to move on with their lives as soon as possible. A contested divorce usually takes much longer due to disagreements, which result in mediation and litigation proceedings. Issues that can cause contested divorce beyond spousal disagreement are high financial stakes, child custody arrangements and support, or other complex issues. This can be very lengthy and is hard on both parties as well as the children.
This is determined by the specific nature of your marriage. Courts tend to steer clear of alimony that allows one party to never work again, except in special circumstances. Alimony is based on the payee’s need, the payer’s ability to pay, and the income of both parties, their lifestyles, length of the marriage, and their contribution to the marriage.
The length of time is highly determined by the parties involved. They must come to an agreement regarding property division, alimony, child support, custody, and visitation. For an uncontested divorce, it can take between two and three months from the date both parties submit their paperwork. However, the length of time for contested divorces varies greatly and depends on the complexity of the issues and on the willingness of both parties to reach an agreement.
In most cases, you will go to court for at least one hearing. Depending on the county, you may need to attend at least one court hearing. Some counties require status conferences to keep the judge updated on the progress of your case.
There are a lot of factors that come into play, but there are several ways to determine your spouse’s income. Factors such as the type of business, how much cash is handled, the legal form of the business, and the amount of money used for personal expenses are all considered. We’ll often use forensic accountants to determine income when making decisions regarding division of assets, business interests, alimony, and child support.
No, not unless the courts have declared as such. Courts begin with the assumption that frequent contact with both parents is good for the child. In circumstances of neglect or abuse, courts may allow limited contact before ordering all contact to be cut off.
This is determined by a standardized Child Support Worksheet that will be prepared by your attorney during your case. It considers both parents’ income, health insurance premiums, day care expenses, school expenses, extra-curricular activities, and any other costs spent for the benefit of the child(ren). The judge then makes a decision based on the payee’s income.
There are many factors considered when determining who gets custody of the child(ren), but it all comes down to what is in the child’s best interest. A few of the many factors considered are the love and bond between the child and parent, between the child and other siblings they live with, the ability of the parent to provide for the child’s needs, and the parent’s knowledge of the child’s needs. In highly contested cases, a Guardian ad Litem may be an option in helping to determine the best interest of the child(ren).
You, your spouse, and your lawyers agree upon a neutral third party certified mediator to act as a facilitator in an effort to discuss and resolve issues in your divorce without going to court. Our attorneys put great care in choosing the most experienced mediators to act in this capacity.
