We understand that divorce can be an emotionally and financially challenging experience. Our goal is to minimize stress while maximizing results, ensuring a fair and equitable resolution that protects your future. From property division and child custody arrangements to spousal support and mediation, we develop personalized legal strategies to meet your needs and help you move forward with stability and peace of mind.

Property Division

One of the most significant aspects of divorce is the division of assets and debts. In Georgia, courts determine whether assets are classified as marital or separate property before deciding on an equitable distribution. This process requires a careful evaluation of all relevant facts, including financial contributions, non-monetary contributions, and the overall circumstances of the marriage. Our attorneys work diligently to ensure that your interests are protected and that you receive a fair share of marital assets, whether through negotiation or litigation.

Alimony (Spousal Support)

Alimony, or spousal support, provides financial assistance to a lesser-earning spouse to help them reestablish financial independence after divorce. The amount and duration of alimony depend on various factors, including:

• Each spouse’s income and earning capacity

• Time spent outside the workforce for childcare or other responsibilities

• Educational background and employment history

• Health conditions that impact earning potential

• Standard of living maintained during the marriage

• Contributions to the marriage, including homemaking and supporting the other spouse’s career

• Marital misconduct and the cause of the divorce

• The needs of any disabled adult child

Our extensive experience with judges across metro Atlanta inform our recommendations and strategic advocacy when presenting alimony claims to a court.

Child Custody

Child custody is often the most emotionally charged aspect of a divorce. We work closely with you to develop a parenting plan that prioritizes your children’s well-being, stability, and best interests. Whether you are seeking primary or shared custody, our attorneys ensure that all legal considerations are met while fostering a parenting arrangement that reflects your family’s needs. If necessary, we collaborate with Guardians ad Litem and child specialists to strengthen your case and advocate for the best possible outcome for your children.

Child Support

Child support is determined based on Georgia’s guidelines, which consider each parent’s income and earning capacity at the time of divorce. Our attorneys conduct a thorough review of financial records, income sources, and potential earning capacity to ensure that child support calculations are accurate and fair. We advocate for arrangements that uphold your child’s financial needs while ensuring compliance with state laws and guidelines.

Divorce can require assistance from other experts. We maintain an extensive network of professionals—including forensic accountants, financial planners, Guardian ad Litem specialists, mental health professionals, co-parenting counselors, and business valuation experts—to support every aspect of your case.
