We are experienced divorce attorneys that can guide you and protect you through the frustrating and emotional distress of a divorce. From a relatively simple uncontested divorce, to an emotionally charged divorce in court, we know exactly what to anticipate, what to guard against, what to demand, and how to get it. We fight for the rights of our clients, and remain vigilant against the games that may be played by your spouse or their divorce attorney.
Georgia law has provisions for a "contested divorce." Filing a contested divorce in Georgia requires the plaintiff to cite at least one of 12 fault grounds for contested divorce. The 12 fault grounds for contested divorce are:
Georgia allows what is sometimes referred to as "no fault" divorce, meaning that citing the marriage as "irretrievably broken" is sufficient grounds for divorce. Filing for uncontested divorce in Georgia, and negotiating the divorce settlement can be relatively easy, however with children and finances involved it usually becomes a bit of a fight. Ideally the spouses can reach mutually agreeable terms with minimal attorney involvement. If direct communication is a problem, we can intercede on your behalf and communicate with the opposing attorney to attempt a resolution. In the worst case, we are experienced trial lawyers who can represent you in a jury trial to settle your divorce. Regardless of what method is required, we will fight to get you what you deserve. We can shoulder the aggravation and frustration of your divorce.
In working through a typical uncontested divorce, and to draft your divorce settlement, we will need to address property division, savings distribution, and possibly child support, visitation or custody. Temporary orders are a first priority in most divorce cases.
Our divorce attorneys can provide near immediate help for Temporary Protective Orders (TPO), or Restraining Orders. If you are dealing with, or fearful of, domestic violence we can suggest shelters or alternative housing. If you need this type of service we can usually address your needs as soon as you hire us. We offer COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATIONS for your divorce attorney needs.
It is very likely that conditions in your life will change, for better or for worse, and that these conditions will cause you or your ex-spouse to file for modifications to your divorce settlement. We have represented both clients that want modifications, and clients that chose to fight the petitioned modifications.
No matter which side you are on, we can help you with matters regarding:
We cannot answer that question, however we can say that if you are motivated to seek a divorce law firm you probably do need a divorce. After a traumatic event such as an affair, or after kidding yourself for years that things will get better, you reach a point where "you just know." When you reach this point, we are here to help you make a sound decision for your situation. Don't fear, life after a divorce can be much better.
When you take that first serious step towards filing for divorce, it is natural to have self doubts, have fears about your future, and even have concerns about your safety or the welfare of your children. Although a divorce can be emotionally exhausting, most people find that their lives are soon better, their nerves are settled, and life goes on.
We encourage you to take advantage of our COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION with a divorce attorney to learn more about filing for divorce, what the process entails, and how divorce may be right for you.
