How Kitchens, New & Cleghorn Views Our Clients
Our law firm has extensive experience in all aspects of practicing family law throughout the state of Georgia. Below you will find a brief overview of our family law practice areas.
Child Custody Attorneys
Child custody disputes in Georgia are often emotional and can be quite complex legally. If you are dealing with a child custody dispute in Georgia, it is essential that you have a child custody attorney with the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate the legal system, and negotiate with opposing counsel, to obtain the custody arrangement you seek. Our child custody attorneys in Atlanta, Athens and Alpharetta GA understand that there is nothing more important to you than your children; we are committed to working very closely with you so that we can help you obtain a child custody visitation schedule that you are happy with and that works for you and your children.
Child Support Attorneys
Our caring and highly competent Atlanta child support attorneys are vastly experienced when it comes to helping secure the proper level of child support you need to ensure the well being of your children. With law offices in Atlanta, Alpharetta and Athens, our top-rated attorneys are well-versed in the intricacies of Georgia child support law and the new GA child support guidelines. We are always eager to sit down with our clients to explain the variables courts use to determine different levels of support. In addition to working with clients on negotiating initial child support payments during a divorce, our family law attorneys also assist clients who need to modify the level of support they or their spouse is responsible for if life circumstances have changed since the original child support order was put in place.
Alimony Lawyers
If you’re looking for an attorney with a proven track record of successfully negotiating alimony payments during a divorce, look no further than our highly experienced Georgia alimony lawyers. We understand that your divorce could change your financial condition significantly, so our alimony attorneys are well-versed in assisting clients in coming up with an alimony payment schedule that meets your needs and satisfies the requirements of Georgia law.
Prenuptial Agreement Lawyers
If you are about to get married and are considering a GA prenup (or are already married and are considering a post-nuptial agreement), our lawyers have the knowledge and experience necessary to help you craft a prenuptial agreement that can stand up under the scrutiny of Georgia law. Our Atlanta law firm, with additional offices in Alpharetta, GA and Athens, GA, assists clients of all types — some have assets prior to entering a marital union that they wish to protect, others own their own a business, and still others have children they want to protect or other concerns. Unfortunately, all too often individuals try creating their own prenups (or print one out online for $19.95) that are later considered invalid under Georgia law. Help ensure that this does not happen to you by working with our experienced Georgia prenup attorneys.
Adoption Attorneys
If you are considering adopting a child in Georgia, our family law attorneys are here to work with you so that you have a positive, stress-free adoption experience. Indeed, our adoption attorneys have the know-how to work through all legal aspects of your adoption, so you can focus on preparation that really matters – preparing to welcome a new child or children into your home! We happily work with single and two-parent, traditional and non-traditional families.
Uncontested Divorce Attorneys
If you are getting a divorce in Georgia, the process will be either “contested” or “uncontested” depending on your current relationship with your spouse. Simply speaking, if you and your spouse agree on all aspects of the divorce (child custody, alimony payments, separation of assets, etc), an uncontested divorce will likely be the cheapest and quickest route for both of you. Of course in many situations this is not possible, and carefully examining your unique situation our divorce lawyers will advise you on the wisest course of action, and whether an uncontested divorce can save you time and money in the GA divorce process.
Domestic Partnership Attorneys
While it is unfortunate that Georgia law does not yet recognize gay marriages as legal, for our clients in committed same-sex relationships our attorneys can do a number of things to protect you and your partner’s insterests. Our uniquely experienced domestic partnership lawyers routinely help gay couples throughout Georgia with properly completing a domestic partnership agreement (as well as a variety of other necessary legal documents). Don’t leave something as important as the future well-being of your loved ones to the often unfriendly Georgia court system!
Additional Georgia Family Law Practice Areas
In addition to the above practice areas, our family law attorneys have a great deal of experience in many other aspects of Georgia law as well, and would be happy to offer you a consultation to determine how we can assist you. Our attorneys in Atlanta, Athens, and Alpharetta will do everything they can to help you achieve the outcome you seek. You’re just a call or a click away to get started!
