Financial Issues During Your Georgia Divorce

Experienced Georgia Divorce & Family Law Attorneys

Unfortunately, a Georgia divorce or family law matter can sometimes have a negative impact on one's finances or credit ratings. For example, if a couple cannot agree on who will be responsible for certain bills, we find that sometimes neither spouse ends up paying them. Additionally, our divorce lawyers have seen that sometimes a divorce is so traumatic on one or both spouses that they can lose their job as a result.

Protecting Your Credit During a Georgia Divorce

During you initial divorce consultation, our Atlanta divorce lawyers will discuss your full financial situation with you. If you and your spouse own a joint checking account, we may suggest you close the account. If you feel that the stress of a divorce may negatively impact your job performance, we may suggest you seek the help of a professional counselor. And if you fear that your spouse may fail to pay certain bills during the course of your divorce, our family law attorneys may request a temporary hearing where a judge would order your spouse to pay those bills so your credit rating is not negatively affected.  While this is just a brief summary of the types of financial issues you may deal with during your divorce, all in all it is important to keep in mind that while your divorce may be difficult both financially and emotionally, there are a number of ways that our Atlanta divorce lawyers will be able to help you along the way.
