Attorneys Experienced In The Issues Involved In Divorce For Men

Men and women often have different goals in divorce. From your initial consultation, through negotiations with your ex and her attorney, our lawyers will focus on the issues that are important to you, including:

• Helping you keep the property that is yours
• Achieving a fair division of property acquired during your marriage

Georgia courts award property by the law of equitable distribution, which is not necessarily the same as equal. Men are just as likely as women to receive the marital home or obtain a greater share of marital property.

Additionally, alimony is not a given in Georgia divorces. Men are just as likely to pay — or receive — alimony as their spouse. Spousal support is based on factors such as need and the higher earning spouse’s ability to pay. Gender is not one of the factors that determines who should pay or receive alimony.

Helping You Understand Fathers’ Rights In Divorce

Our lawyers will explain your rights and obligations with respect to issues such as child custody and child support. We work to negotiate a child custody and visitation agreement to protect your rights as a father. Courts are just as likely to award child custody to a father as a mother. Courts give weight to who has been the primary caretaker, regardless of gender.

In Georgia, child support is based on the incomes of both parents, the number of children you support and the custody arrangement. Many fathers assume that there is little they can do to affect the amount of support they are required to pay. In reality, there is much an experienced attorney can do to ensure that support requirements are reasonable. If you have 50-50 child custody and both you and your ex spouse earn roughly the same amount, you may not have to pay support.
