Divorce Representation
A divorce is more than the end of a marriage — it is the start of a new chapter. Our Atlanta Divorce Lawyers help you protect what matters most while planning for your future.
We handle every aspect of divorce, including:
- Property Division — Ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of property, assets, debts, and retirement accounts.
- Spousal Support (Alimony) — Advocating for your financial stability during and after divorce.
- High-Asset Divorce — Protecting complex portfolios including businesses, investments, and real estate.
- Military Divorce — Addressing unique benefits and federal regulations that impact service members.
- LGBTQ Divorce — Fighting for fairness and equality in LGBTQ family law cases.
- Divorce Mediation — Helping couples resolve disputes peacefully without a court battle.
No matter the complexity, our goal is to help you transition smoothly, protect your rights, and secure your future.
Child Custody & Parenting Plans
Few legal matters are as sensitive as custody disputes. Our Child Custody Attorneys in Atlanta fight to ensure your child’s best interests remain the priority.
We assist with:
- Custody establishment and modification
- Parenting Plans tailored to minimize conflict
- Relocation and visitation disputes
- Grandparent Rights cases to preserve family bonds
- High-conflict custody litigation
Our approach balances firm advocacy in court with creative solutions out of court, always prioritizing the child’s well-being.
Child Support Representation
Child support ensures children receive the financial support they need. In Georgia, support is calculated using the Income Shares Model, which takes both parents’ incomes into account.
Our team helps with:
- Child Support Calculations to ensure fairness
- Modifications when income, employment, or custody arrangements change
- Enforcement of court orders when payments are missed
We work to ensure children are provided for — while protecting your financial stability as a parent.
Fathers’ Rights & Legitimation
In Georgia, unmarried fathers do not automatically have custody or visitation rights — even if they are listed on the birth certificate. Our Fathers’ Rights Lawyers help fathers establish their rights legally and preserve their role in their children’s lives.
We assist with:
- Legitimation petitions to secure custody and visitation rights
- Custody, visitation, and decision-making authority for fathers
- Protecting fathers in child support and custody disputes
We believe every child deserves the love and guidance of both parents, and we fight to make sure fathers are given a fair chance to be present.
Estate Planning & Probate
Planning for the future is one of the most meaningful steps you can take for your family. Our Estate Planning Attorneys in Atlanta provide comprehensive services to help you protect your legacy and ease burdens on your loved ones.
We assist with:
- Wills and Trusts to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes
- Healthcare directives and powers of attorney
- Guardianship planning for children and dependents
- Probate Representation to guide families through estate administration
With proper planning, you can secure peace of mind today and provide clarity for tomorrow.
Discovery, Pleadings & Motions
Behind every successful case is meticulous preparation. We handle the legal groundwork so that you are always prepared.
Our services include:
- Discovery — Collecting financial records, property documents, and witness testimony
- Pleadings & Motions — Filing the right documents at the right time to strengthen your case
By handling the details thoroughly, we build a foundation for strong advocacy in and out of court.
