Planning a Divorce

If you are considering divorce you need a plan and exit strategy. Your living arrangements, financial situations and lifestyle will be altered more than you can imagine. Your plan is a roadmap to a stable future.

You need a plan for stability during the divorce process. You need a vision of how to preserve assets and property, assert parental rights, and lay a foundation for financial health. You need to know what to do, and not do, during your divorce. Failing to plan is planning to fail.

Lawyers for Any Divorce in Georgia

From low-conflict to high-conflict divorce we can help you.

Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested divorce is the most common way to get a divorce in Georgia. Uncontested means both parties agree to wanting a divorce, however; it does not mean there will not be disagreements. Our low-conflict approach can help you get a divorce sooner and at less cost than going the route of protracted fighting.

Contested Divoce

Contested divorce refers to a situation where one or both parties strongly dispute aspects of the divorce petition. Contested divorces are usually stressful, and require far more time and expense than an uncontested divorce. Our experience helps us to diffuse conflict and find ways to keep things under control.

Mediated Divorce

In a mediated divorce, the mediator assumes a neutral role to facilitate productive conversation and peaceful resolution. A mediated divorce is a good fit for couples who want to get a divorce but still be friends. Mediated divorce is usually very low stress, cost-effective, and both parties walk away feeling that the process was fair.

High-Asset Divorce

High asset divorces are usually very complex. It;s not uncommon to fight a spouse hiding assets, misrepresenting value, and otherwise trying to be dishonest. Our divorce lawyers can build a team of auditors, investigators, and other professionals to affect you getting a fair and equitable distribution of assets.
