Family Law
Although we have a general practice law firm in Cumming, Georgia, we focus much of our work on family law. Family law matters can be very emotional, in both positive and negative ways — from the stress and tension of divorce to the joy of finalizing an adoption. Our attorneys have extensive experience with family law from the last 15+ years of practice in Cumming and throughout the area surrounding Forsyth County.
Empathy and Compassion
Family law attorneys must wear many hats. At various times during the process, we play the role of litigator, counselor, negotiator, communicator, and mediator. We are here to support and represent you every step of the way. Below are some examples of family law issues, and how my law firm can help you with them.
Family Law practice areas:
Other Family Law practice areas:
- Domestic violence and restraining orders: If you are a victim of domestic violence, you need caring and supportive lawyer to represent you. Our attorneys understand these issues may have a longlasting impact on you and your family, and we take our work on your case very seriously.
- Guardianships/Conservatorships: Anyone over 18 who suffers from mental deficiency, mental illness, or any other condition that renders them unable to care for themselves may require a guardian and/or a conservator. Often this is a difficult process, but we can help make the situation as stressfree as possible.
- Prenuptial agreements: One way to be proactive when beginning a new marital relationship is to consider formalizing a prenuptial agreement to handle property ownership, estate, and other related issues. Prenuptial agreements also protect the rights of children from a former marriage to receive property owned by their parent when that parent enters another marital relationship.
- Legitimation: If you fathered a child out of wedlock, you do not have rights to custody or visitation until you have legitimated the child. Georgia Code requires more of the father than his signing the birth certificate. As your attorneys, we will guide you through this process so you can assert your paternal rights.
