Marriage is all about merging two people’s lives together. You’ve spent years or even decades living as a combined family unit, so breaking it off and splitting that life in two can be messy, to say the least.

The divorce process is challenging for everyone in different ways. You and your spouse need to come to agreements about dividing your property and assets, alimony or spousal support, debt distribution, and more. If there are children involved, it adds a whole new level of emotional stress because you want to secure the best possible future for yourself and your children. The legal process is also more complicated because the parties are required to create a Parenting Plan that details custody and parenting time, authority over various decisions ahead, child support payments, and more.

Life-changing plans like these are difficult to make under normal circumstances, much less when you’re dealing with the emotional tension of your marriage ending. Our divorce attorneys have extensive experience guiding clients through the divorce process while keeping it amicable and productive. We like to say that we’re in the business of improving families, and we mean it! Our goal is to secure the best possible outcome on the legal side while also ensuring a positive outcome in your personal life.

If you’re ready to file for divorce or if your spouse has already filed, call Oxendine Law to speak with an attorney to ease your fears and make a solid, strategic plan for what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law

Divorce laws have intricately formed and changed over the course of hundreds of years. Learn more about the divorce laws in Georgia below.
What’s the difference between an at-fault divorce and a no-fault divorce?
The vast majority of divorces in Georgia are filed as no-fault divorces because we have the privilege of doing so, unlike some states that require the filing party to allege a fault-based ground for divorce.  Divorce filings are public, so most people understand the benefits of filing for divorce simply stating that the marriage is irretrievably broken.  However, in limited circumstances, it is beneficial or even necessary to file for a divorce under one of Georgia’s fault-based grounds such as adultery, cruel treatment, or habitual intoxication.
Not if you have an attorney that is well-versed in high asset divorces. If your marital net worth is divided among a large number of accounts, multiple types of assets, contains residential properties, and holds multiple forms of investments then you need an attorney to assist in ensuring a fair division beyond just making sure the numbers add up. In these you need advice from someone who has the intricate knowledge that is necessary to handle your financial situation, including setting you up for success in the future.
Your first step should always be to contact a family lawyer who specializes in divorce. Our team can guide you through the process step-by-step. The divorce complaint will include information about you and your spouse such as current living arrangements, children of the relationship, your financial requests regarding certain marital assets and debts, and the grounds for the divorce. A copy of the divorce complaint will be served to your spouse, then your spouse has thirty days to file an Answer and likely a Counterclaim. After that, our experienced attorney begin the process to resolve your case with a settlement, or prepare to go to court if necessary.
