Divorce is the most common type of case in family law. While the decision to get divorced is a difficult one, it is only the beginning of an often complicated and confusing process. Georgia has specific laws dictating the divorce procedure, and many people encounter unexpected delays and obstacles during the legal process without the proper representation.
Even if you want to finalize your case and move forward as quickly as possible, the outcome of your divorce can impact your finances and your future for years to come. There is too much at stake, financially and emotionally, to risk handling a divorce on your own - you deserve to have your rights and interests fully protected by an experienced Cumming divorce attorney.

- No-fault divorces
- Fault-based divorce, including those based on adultery, cruel treatment, or addiction
- Uncontested divorces
- Divorce mediation

Even if you and your spouse cooperate and reach a settlement agreement, you still want to have legal representation, as unexpected complications can often arise. Our attorneys work to prevent unnecessary delays, expenses, and stress for each of our divorcing clients.
Like every state, Georgia law sets out requirements for divorce that you must meet before your case can be finalized. This includes filing a petition with the right court, a residency requirement of six months, citing the proper grounds for your case, and more. In addition, you and your spouse will need to resolve any issues that are relevant to your marriage before it can be finalized, including:
- Division of your assets, property, and debts
- Child custody
- Child support
- Spousal support (alimony)
Often, resolving these issues is the sticking point for many divorcing couples. Our lawyers can guide you through negotiations, mediation, or litigation if needed to reach a resolution that is fair and in line with your rights under Georgia law.
