Our Practice Areas

Child Custody

When a marriage ends, the divorce decree specifies which parent will retain the primary custody of children. In many cases, parents are able to reach an agreement concerning child custody on their own or through out-of-court negotiations led by family-law attorneys. If parents are unable to agree over the terms of child custody, however, family courts will intervene. Once involved in child-custody disputes, the courts will act in what they believe to be the best interests of the children involved. To learn more about child custody in Marietta, GA, contact our family-law attorneys today.

Child Support

Child support is a common issue in divorce cases. While each case varies, child-support payments are usually made by the non-custodial parent to the parent with primary custody. Generally, family courts in Georgia determine the amount of child support to be paid by following state guidelines, but their decision is also influenced by certain case-related circumstances. If you are concerned about child support in Georgia, contact our divorce experts to learn more.

Alimony Payments

Following a divorce in Georgia, spousal support, also known as alimony, may be awarded to a former spouse by the family court. When spousal support is awarded, the amount and duration of the support is affected by state laws and other case-specific factors. If you need to know how these factors will influence the role of alimony in your case, contact our experienced divorce attorneys so that they can explain Georgia's spousal-support laws in detail.

Asset Division

Dividing marital property in Georgia is a complicated process for a variety of reasons. First of all, almost anything acquired over the course of a marriage can be considered marital property, which means that a great deal of assets must be divided between spouses when they separate. Also, since each party is entitled to portions of marital property, disputes concerning the terms of asset division are quite common. If asset division is an issue in your divorce, be sure to contact our firm to find out how our lawyers can protect your interests.

Uncontested Divorces

Filing for an uncontested divorce is usually the best way for spouses to separate. Not only are uncontested divorces quicker than contested divorces, they are also much cheaper. To file for an uncontested divorce in Georgia, both parties must be able to agree on the terms of their divorce, which means that issues concerning child custody, child support, asset division, and alimony must be resolved amicably. If you are seeking an uncontested divorce in Marietta, GA, contact our uncontested-divorce experts to start the process.
