While a divorce is never a pleasant experience, a strong alternative to having your personal family matters handled by a judge or jury is to try divorce mediation. Mediation in Georgia is intended to allow the parties to reach a settlement outside of court, oftentimes in a more friendly and amicable manner. If you think mediation may be right for you, talk with our divorce lawyers about representing you in the mediation process.

A second alternative to consider when getting divorced is to try an uncontested divorce in DeKalb County.  As with divorce mediation, an uncontested divorce in DeKalb County is oftentimes easier on all parties involved. Of course, there are times when an uncontested divorce will not be possible (if one spouse is unreasonable a fair negotiation will be unlikely). Please consult with one of our divorce lawyers who can tell you whether an uncontested divorce is a good strategy for your particular situation.
