Wanda, You and Jeff were the voices of calm and peace for such a crazy time in my life and I'll always appreciate that. I received amazing service, and best of all I have no regrets that so many people feel after the emotions have died down. You have an amazing team there and I've already recommended the firm to others. Maria.

Experienced Divorce Attorneys —
Offices in Atlanta, Alpharetta & Athens GA

Going through a divorce can be stressful emotionally, physically, and mentally. Finding an experienced and knowledgeable divorce attorney will be a crucial step to take if you’ve been served with divorce papers or wish to file for a divorce. Indeed, hiring a skilled divorce lawyer from a dependable family law firm will ensure proper representation for all aspects of your divorce–including child custody, child support and alimony.

There are certain legal procedures to keep in consideration before a divorce in GA is recognized. The initial legal process for filing a divorce begins with filling out the appropriate legal documents such as the Petition for Divorce. Before you can file these documents, you must declare the grounds for divorce in accordance with Georgia state law.

In the state of Georgia, there are 13 grounds for filing a divorce. Out of the 13 grounds for divorce, only 1 is considered to be no-fault. Other aspects to consider include: residency requirements for filing a divorce in Georgia, determining which court or county in which to file your divorce, contested vs uncontested divorce, alimony, property settlements, and child custody–just to name a few. The entire legal process for filing a divorce in Georgia can be tedious, overwhelming and emotionally taxing, which is why it is important to start off on the right foot and with the right law firm. At the Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC, our divorce attorneys are here to consult you through each and every step of the process.

Two Types of Divorce in Georgia

Uncontested Divorce in Georgia

Uncontested divorces are common in the state of Georgia. An uncontested divorce refers to a divorce where both individuals are in agreement on issues regarding child custody, child support, property settlements and the division of debts and assets. Uncontested divorces are generally much smoother, more efficient, less expensive and less stressful than a contested divorce. However, most times the divorcing spouses do not agree on all issues, so uncontested divorces can be rare.

Contested Divorce in Georgia

In contrast to an uncontested divorce, contested divorces are filed when couples aren’t able to come to an agreement in regards to dividing assets, sharing child custody, deciding upon alimony and so forth. If you do plan on filing for a contested divorce in Georgia, you should consult with one of our skilled divorce attorneys. Our family law attorneys can inform you on all your legal rights, help you come up with a fair settlement agreement, serve as a mediator between you and your spouse, help you determine the appropriate child support, and represent you at trial if necessary.
