Divorce in Georgia doesn’t look the same for every couple, and it shouldn’t - the process is inherently personal. The path you take depends on your circumstances, and we’ll help you determine what makes the most sense based on your goals.

Georgia allows for both no-fault and fault-based divorces. Most people choose the no-fault route, citing “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.” It’s faster and tends to be less emotionally and financially draining. Moreover, it always ends in a divorce being granted.

However, if your spouse committed adultery, was abusive, or abandoned the marriage, you may have grounds for a fault-based divorce. While this option may impact alimony or asset division, it often leads to longer and more expensive proceedings. Additionally, you bear the burden of proving that the fault ground you’re citing was the true cause for the breakdown in your marriage, and if you fail to successfully prove it, your divorce will not be granted. 

Our Lawrenceville divorce attorneys will walk you through the benefits and pitfalls of each option so you can choose the right path.

Again, no two divorces are alike. Some couples are able to agree on the major issues, while others need a judge to step in. Regardless of how complex or simple your case may be, we help you resolve disputes with a strategic, transparent approach.

If you and your spouse agree on all the key issues - custody, support, and property division - you can likely pursue an uncontested divorce. This option saves time, money, and emotional strain. We’ll draft your agreement, ensure it’s fair, and file it with the court to finalize your divorce.

Contested Divorce

When there’s disagreement on one or more issues, you may be facing a contested divorce. Our Lawrenceville divorce attorneys are ready to advocate for you, whether that means negotiating a better outcome or presenting a strong case in court. We stay calm under pressure, and we keep you grounded in your goals.

Many of our clients benefit from mediation, where a neutral third party helps you and your spouse find workable compromises. Mediation often results in faster resolutions and keeps the decisions in your hands - not a judge’s. We’ll represent you throughout the process to protect your interests every step of the way.

From dividing property to making decisions about your children’s future, we provide focused support in every area of your divorce:

• Child Custody & Parenting Plans – We’ll help you create a plan that supports your child’s well-being and works for your family long-term.
  
• Child Support & Alimony – Whether you’re receiving or paying, we’ll ensure support arrangements are fair and in line with Georgia law.
  
• Property & Debt Division – Georgia’s equitable distribution rules can be complex. We’ll make sure your assets and debts are divided in a way that reflects your contributions and protects your financial future.
  
• Modifications & Enforcement – After the divorce, life happens. If you need to change an existing order or enforce one, we’re here to help with that too.
