A divorce can range from being straightforward and affordable to highly complex and costly, both emotionally and financially. The more you and your spouse can agree on early in the process, the smoother and less expensive it will be. However, all it takes is one unreasonable or unrealistic party or lawyer (out of the four people involved) to turn the process into a more contentious, time-consuming, and costly ordeal. The Atlanta divorce attorneys at Naggiar & Sarif will serve as your guide, helping you navigate this challenging experience with success.
While our primary goal is to avoid trial or litigation, we recognize the importance of resolving matters out of court for the benefit of you and your family. However, with our years of experience, we understand that sometimes circumstances require the intervention of the Court.
Fortunately, most cases are settled without the need for court intervention. However, if your case proceeds to court—whether for a status conference, temporary hearing, or final trial—our experienced family law attorneys will be fully prepared and will ensure you are ready as well.
In nearly all cases, there will be a mediation or settlement conference to address unresolved issues. Our Atlanta, GA divorce attorneys will guide you through this process, providing clear explanations every step of the way.
“Danny Naggiar represented me in my divorce and custody case. He was experienced, smart, and responsive to all my (many) questions. I was very impressed with his advocacy on my behalf and recommend him to anyone who needs his help. From the initial consultation to the finalization of my divorce he was there every step of the way. He’s the best. Thanks Danny!”

“A divorce can be ugly, real ugly. David Sarif is not only 2 steps ahead of opposing counsel, he quickly reads the legal and personal situations to move the process forward as easily as possible. He preserves your assets and your sanity. I’m glad David came so I highly recommended to me. My divorce may have done some real damage if he wasn’t in my corner.”

"Mr. Naggiar is an excellent attorney; sharp, smart, HIGHLY efficient…. And doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (unlike my ex-wife!). He delicately, sagaciously made my divorce as painless as possible and expedited the process per GA law and the judge. If, sadly, you have to go through this painful situation, I say call Danny. He will take your best interests to heart…and defend them."

Georgia law, which applies in Atlanta, recognizes 13 grounds for divorce. The most common is “irretrievably broken,” a no-fault option requiring no specific reason beyond the marriage being over. Fault-based grounds include adultery, abandonment, cruelty, or substance abuse, which may influence alimony or property division if proven. Our Atlanta divorce attorneys at Naggiar & Sarif help you choose the right approach based on your situation, ensuring compliance with state statutes like O.C.G.A. § 19-5-3.
In Atlanta, the timeline depends on whether your divorce is uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce—where both spouses agree on all terms—can be finalized in as little as 31 days after filing and serving papers, assuming no delays in Fulton County Superior Court. Contested divorces, involving disputes over custody, property, or support, typically take 9-12 months or longer, especially if mediation or a trial is required. At Naggiar & Sarif, we streamline the process to minimize delays while protecting your interests.
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all terms—property, custody, support—allowing a quick filing and approval, often within 31 days in Atlanta. A contested divorce involves disagreements, requiring negotiation, mediation, or a trial, which extends the timeline and cost. Our Atlanta divorce lawyers at Naggiar & Sarif handle both, guiding you toward resolution whether through settlement or litigation.
Georgia follows “equitable distribution,” meaning marital property is divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Courts consider factors like each spouse’s contributions, financial needs, and marriage length. In Atlanta, where high-asset cases are common, this can involve complex valuations of homes, businesses, or investments. Naggiar & Sarif’s trial attorneys excel at negotiating or litigating to secure a division that reflects your contributions and future stability.
Alimony isn’t automatic in Georgia. Courts award it based on factors like the length of the marriage, one spouse’s financial need, and the other’s ability to pay. In Atlanta, where income disparities can be significant, temporary or permanent alimony might apply. Naggiar & Sarif analyzes your finances and case history to argue effectively for or against alimony, ensuring a fair outcome.
When the divorce process begins, dividing assets becomes a key issue. This includes separating joint finances, real estate, and property acquired during the marriage. Given the potential for disputes in this area, it’s crucial to have a skilled attorney who can negotiate favorable settlements on your behalf.
Child custody is a crucial factor that requires thoughtful consideration. Establishing custody arrangements involves determining what serves the child’s best interests. Courts strive to create stable and supportive environments for the children involved. Our experienced Atlanta, GA divorce attorneys will help parents navigate the legal process, advocating for their rights and ensuring their children’s well-being.
In the midst of divorce proceedings, heightened emotions can complicate communication between separated spouses. At this point, having legal representation is crucial. Our seasoned attorney acts as a mediator, assisting in conducting dialogues and negotiations between the parties involved. With their expertise, emotions are managed, allowing the focus to be on reaching a just and balanced settlement.
Divorce can have major financial consequences, and spousal support or alimony may become a factor. Determining the appropriate amount requires a thorough assessment of both parties’ financial circumstances. Our knowledgeable Atlanta divorce attorneys will help you understand your rights and obligations, working toward a fair and reasonable resolution.
Meeting deadlines and fulfilling legal requirements are critical throughout the divorce process. Missing these can lead to delays and complications. Our team will guide you through each step, ensuring that all paperwork is accurately completed and submitted on time. This careful attention to detail helps prevent setbacks and keeps the process moving efficiently.
