OUR SERVICES

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are contracts that couples sign to outline how their assets, debts, and other matters will be handled in the event of divorce. The agreement aims to protect each party's financial interests and can help avoid costly litigation.

An uncontested divorce is when both parties have reached a full and complete settlement on all issues prior to filing their case. At Fagan Law Group, we offer flat fee services for divorces that are truly uncontested.

A contested divorce is when the parties do not agree to the terms of their divorce. Issues related to alimony, child custody and support, property division, and more can be complicated and overwhelming. At Fagan Law Group, we have helped hundreds of clients throughout Georgia navigate this difficult transition.

Custody and parenting time in Georgia are based on the best interest of each child. Legal custody concerns access to records regarding a child and the right to make decisions about a child's upbringing. Physical custody concerns the actual parenting time schedule and how the parties divide time with the child during the year.

Child support is a court-ordered payment made to help cover the expenses of raising a child. In Georgia, child support is generally based on the gross (before tax) incomes of the parents and the costs of the child. While the state guidelines provide a presumptive amount, this number can be subject to change based on fact-specific details.

In Georgia, marital assets and debts are divided in a process known as equitable distribution, which seeks to fairly allocate rights and obligations based on a number of factors specific to each couple.

Alimony, also known as spousal support or maintenance, is financial support paid by one spouse to another. Courts consider numerous factors when considering whether to award alimony on a temporary and/or permanent basis.

Adoption is a process that allows someone to legally take responsibility for another person, usually a child. If you wish to grow your family, or consider an adult adoption, please speak with an experienced family law professional to guide you through the process.

In Georgia, legitimation is a legal process that allows a biological father to establish legal rights to a child born out of wedlock. Legitimation actions often run in tandem with paternity and child support actions to resolve matters simultaneously.

A contempt action is a way to enforce a court order when a party fails to comply with its terms. The party who files the motion generally has the burden of proof, making it essential to have representation from an experienced family law attorney.

There are many reasons someone might want to change their name—marriage and divorce are the most common. However, there are other reasons people change their name, and having an attorney to walk you through the process is critical.

In addition to litigation itself, navigating the daily nuances and stress of divorce can be overwhelming. When you need “real world” help with the non-legal day-to-day, our Divorce Concierge is here to help.
