An attorney can be an invaluable ally during the divorce and family law process. Filing for divorce is about more than meeting the minimum requirements set by state law and could have a tremendous impact on your financial future as well as your relationship with your minor children.

Child custody issues are often some of the most challenging aspects of divorce and family law. Divorcing or unmarried parents do not always see eye-to-eye on what is best for their children. An attorney with the Atlanta Divorce Law Group can help you fight for what is fair and reach common ground with your child’s other parent.

An Atlanta, Georgia family law attorney can also assist with the division of assets during divorce. Before a judge can divide your marital assets, you must determine what these assets are worth. Our team can work with appraisal experts to put values on properties and help ensure you get your fair share of the marital estate.

Many divorcing spouses also wonder about whether they’re entitled to any kind of support post-divorce. Alimony—also known as spousal support—is not always granted following a divorce. Many factors can contribute to a judge’s decision to award spousal support in a divorce case, so it is best to let an attorney present evidence in an organized and strategic way.

Otherwise, parents—divorced and otherwise—have an obligation to provide for their children. The non-custodial parent will likely have to pay post-divorce support to the custodial parent to help cover the cost of raising their child. Working with an attorney can help ensure a fair outcome in your family law or divorce case.
