Once we understand your point of view, we can help you identify your goals and determine the best way to achieve them. We will let you know how property is divided in Georgia and what to expect regarding child custody arrangements and support.

Three Steps To Take At The Start Of Your Divorce

Facing the prospect of divorce in Georgia can feel disorienting and turbulent. While every situation is unique, there are some crucial steps you can take early on to help protect yourself and navigate the process more smoothly:

1. Take a full snapshot of your financial situation. Before you begin the divorce process, it’s crucial to have a comprehensive understanding of your financial situation. This includes all assets, investments, retirement accounts, debts and any other financial obligations. Knowing the full scope of your finances will help you make informed decisions and protect your interests as you move forward.
2. Make a plan for where you will stay and how you will manage splitting your home. One of the first practical steps in a divorce is determining your living arrangements. Consider where you will stay during the separation and how you will divide your home and belongings. For example, if you are moving to a new apartment, decide what furniture and household items you will take with you. Clear planning can reduce conflict and help ensure a smoother transition.
3. Decide what type of divorce will best suit your needs. In Georgia, you have the option to pursue either a contested or uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce is typically faster and less costly, as both parties agree on all major issues. A contested divorce, on the other hand, occurs when there are disputes that require court intervention. Assess your situation and discuss with your attorney which type of divorce aligns with your needs and goals.

By taking these three steps at the outset of your divorce, you’ll be better prepared for the legal process.
