The decision to file for divorce is often difficult. We try to make this process as painless as possible. We will work with you to determine what’s important to you and to protect you from future disputes.

Contested Divorce

Contested divorces can be more time consuming, as contested issues require a court ruling. Issues such as property division, alimony, child custody, and child support are usually what a judge or jury will decide. However, it is possible to settle, or even partially settle, if both sides can agree on the contested matters prior to presenting the case to a judge or jury, thereby lessening the length of time to get a divorce.

Uncontested Divorce

In an uncontested divorce, both parties agree to terms, including property division, child custody and visitation, amount of child support, alimony entitlement, and attorney’s fees. There are many other terms and Georgia law requirements which make this simple sounding process anything but simple. Hiring an experienced attorney to help you navigate through the process is a decision that makes sense to ensure that everything is done correctly, thereby ensuring that your case will hold up in court.
