Divorce completely restructures your family. We have the experience and attention to detail necessary for you to get the future you deserve.
There are many considerations during even a simple divorce. However, the most contentious tend to be property division, child support and alimony.
Property division is complex. The equitable division laws do not always result in a 50-50 split of marital property during divorce. We help with:
Child support is separate from custody. It is more of a financial matter but can be as contentious as other childcare decisions. We believe that you deserve something more precise than the statutory formula in the Georgia Child Support Guidelines — something you can live with for the foreseeable future.
In addition to child support, there are multiple types of potential spousal support payments. However, alimony is not always granted in Georgia divorce cases.
Even if you are exiting a long-term relationship — even if you have been married for decades — do not assume that you must pay (or that you will receive) alimony. We help by:
If you have children, your divorce will involve many significant decisions about their futures. Most of these choices fall under the general category of custody, such as:
Determining the sharing and division of decision-making responsibilities (about education, social life, religion and so on)
Family law engages much more than just divorce. We practice in a wide variety of areas:

Melissa and her team are fantastic! She was referred to me by a friend. She handled the paperwork for my divorce quickly and expertly. Her solid reputation was apparent to me when she got signatures and responses from the court very quickly. For such a hard-working lawyer she was always very responsive. When I needed to make specific choices about the settlement (pre-marital property, no children, no co-owned debt), she was very considerate but also got right to the point. She kept the entire process on track; the time from initial complaint to finalization was about three months (depending on your marriage, timeline may vary).
I highly recommend Melissa to represent you in your divorce proceedings. Melissa represented me during my recent divorce. She is incredibly knowledgeable of Georgia State and family law. Melissa always put the needs of my children and family first. She was always prepared to answer questions, financial, custodial, or parental rights related. She is an advocate for children and never once missed a birthday or wellness check. This was incredibly important at a time of extensive duress. I am forever grateful for the outcome she was able to deliver for my family. I felt valued as a client, and most importantly, a person.
