Questions
How does Georgia determine alimony payments?
Georgia courts consider factors like marital standard of living, financial needs, and paying spouse's ability when determining alimony. Awards aim to be rehabilitative rather than permanent in most cases.
What factors influence child custody decisions?
Courts evaluate parental stability, children's needs, existing parent-child relationships, and each parent's ability to facilitate co-parenting. Children aged 14+ may express custody preferences.
Can mediation resolve divorce disputes?
Yes, mediation offers a collaborative alternative to litigation for resolving divorce terms. Our certified mediator helps parties reach agreements on property division, support, and custody matters.
What are Georgia's divorce grounds?
Georgia primarily grants no-fault divorces based on irretrievable breakdown. Limited fault grounds exist for adultery, desertion, or criminal convictions affecting marital capacity.
How are child support amounts calculated?
Georgia uses an income shares model considering both parents' earnings, childcare costs, health insurance, and extracurricular expenses when determining child support obligations.
Do you handle same-sex divorce cases?
Yes, we provide equal legal representation for all family law matters including same-sex divorces, ensuring protection of parental rights and equitable asset distribution.
