Atlanta Divorce Lawyers
Family Law - Divorce, Child Support, Child Custody,
Alimony, Equitable Division, Contempt & Modifications in Atlanta &
Georgia
There are milestones in life when you need a trusted
divorce lawyer in the Atlanta, Georgia area to guide you. At
Meriwether & Tharp our experienced family law attorneys
recognize that domestic troubles can be emotionally and financially
taxing. Our lawyers provide personal, individualized legal services,
covering the full spectrum of family law issues including, but not
limited to: divorce, child support, child custody, alimony,
equitable division, contempt and modification actions.
Divorce Litigation
A divorce is often a stressful and life altering
event. Our divorce lawyers are prepared to minimize the impact as much
as possible by helping you navigate the legal complexities of ending a
marriage from resolving issues involving child custody, child support,
and alimony to equitable division of your property and assets.
As divorce lawyers in Atlanta, we stay up
to date on the latest divorce law changes. We are very
knowledgeable about the current Georgia child support worksheets, which
determine the amount of child support payments that are awarded under
the child support guidelines and the various deviation factors that play
a major role under the new guidelines. We stay current with the new
parenting time plans that are now mandatory in Georgia and are
intimately familiar with sole and joint physical and legal custody
arrangements. We were one of the first firms to use PowerPoint
presentations in hearings and trials in Georgia and continue to use our
technologic advantages to produce extensive marital balance worksheets
which provide a detailed analysis on what is a fair division of assets.
Our Philosophy
While we zealously represent our clients in the
courtroom, we believe that fierce litigation is not always the best way
to resolve a divorce. We try to resolve cases in an amicable
and collaborative fashion whenever possible. If children
are involved, it is likely that you and your spouse will face a lifetime
of joint parenting interactions, despite the divorce. One of the least
considered costs of divorce is how life's precious moments can become
tainted with negative feelings between ex-spouses and we do everything
we can to diminish this effect.
As not all cases can be resolved without resorting to
litigation, we will recommend when it is appropriate to take a case to
trial in order to seek a better outcome. We take pride in the way we
manage cases and work closely with our clients. We assign tasks within
our firm to the appropriate individuals and strive to maximize results
while decreasing costs to our clients. We use the latest technology to
be as prepared as possible for your case (including detailed financial
analysis for complex financial cases involving substantial assets, high
incomes, and small businesses). You will find that our divorce lawyers
are prepared to help you every step of the way.
Types of Divorce Cases We Handle
We handle a large variety of divorce cases.
From simple, uncontested divorces to complex, contested divorce
actions, you will find our divorce attorneys are well versed on the
latest laws affecting your rights in a divorce. We have
extensive experience with cases involving substantial assets, high
incomes, small businesses and hidden assets and believe that our
financial analysis capabilities can help you address the unique nature
of these types of cases. We have also handled a number of contested
custody issues involving issues, such as: adultery, alcohol, drug abuse,
and physical violence.
Contempt, Child Custody Modification, Child
Support Modification, and Alimony Modification
A number of legal issues can arise after a divorce.
If one spouse does not satisfy their financial obligations in the
divorce, we can assist in contempt of court cases to help you receive
what you are entitled to. If you have lost your job or are experiencing
other difficulties which prevent you from meeting obligations from the
divorce, we can help you seek a modification of your divorce decree to
change your child support or alimony obligation. If circumstances have
changed and you now believe that child custody and visitation
arrangements should be altered, we can aid you in bringing those issues
to the court's attention in an effort to modify child custody
arrangements.
You can rely on Meriwether & Tharp to guide you
