We work to keep those relationships in as good a shape as possible, while always focusing on your rights and best interests. Our Atlanta family lawyers will fight to keep you out of court where possible, keep your family intact when called for, and provide the appropriate level of representation necessary to a satisfactory resolution of your case. Call on Buckhead Family Law for help with any of the following in the Atlanta area:

Divorce ? We provide all the help you need in contested and uncontested divorces, from drafting and reviewing marital settlement agreements to aggressive representation in divorce litigation.

Child Custody ? We help you work out a detailed parenting plan that works for everybody, or litigate issues of physical and legal custody in the best interests of you and your children.

Property Division ? Whether looking for a 50/50 split or an unequal yet equitable distribution, we help make sure every marital asset and debt is located, properly characterized and accurately valued.

Paternity & Legitimation ? Our knowledgeable family law attorney can walk you through the two-step process of paternity and legitimation to establish or oppose parental rights and responsibilities in crucial areas such as child custody, visitation and child support.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements ? Let us draft or review agreements that determine important issues such as alimony and property division in the event of a divorce. Save time, money and conflict down the line by discussing your expectations in a calm and constructive manner.

Modification of Child Support ? When the income of the parents or the needs of the kids change, the amount of child support may need to change as well. Whether recalculating the Georgia Child Support Guidelines amount or seeking a deviation, count on our office to build a strong factual case that supports your position.

Modification of Alimony ? Changes in income, romantic relationships and other factors may justify a modification or early termination of alimony payments. Whether you are seeking or opposing a modification, having strong, experienced legal representation is essential.

Contempt ? Civil contempt proceedings are powerful tools to compel enforcement with court orders regarding the payment of alimony or child support, or compliance with custody exchanges and visitation. Make sure your rights are protected and that you are set up for success by engaging our experienced courtroom litigator to represent you.

Domestic Violence & Protective Orders ? If you or your children have been threatened by a spouse, former spouse or their parent, don?t wait for actual violence to occur before taking action. We represent parties in seeking Family Violence Protection Orders and also represent parties challenging an order when they are falsely accused of domestic violence.

Grandparents Visitation ? Grandparents have the right under Georgia law to intervene in a divorce or custody modification, or to file an action in court to force visitation. Several factors must be proven to show visitation would not be detrimental to the children but would be in their best interests. Let us represent you when you are seeking or opposing grandparent visitation.
