Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the best family lawyer in Atlanta?

To choose the best family lawyer in Atlanta, look for a firm with specialized experience in Georgia domestic relations, high peer-review ratings (like “Lawyer of the Year” or Super Lawyers), and a deep understanding of local courts in Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties.

At Naggiar & Sarif, we recommend evaluating an attorney’s track record with complex cases and their ability to offer personalized, accessible support. For more detailed guidance, see our guide on the best tips for hiring a family law attorney in Atlanta, GA.

How Is Child Custody Determined in Atlanta?

In Georgia, child custody—including both legal (decision-making) and physical custody—is determined based on the “best interests of the child” standard. Judges evaluate parental bonds, the child’s developmental needs, and each parent’s ability to provide a stable home environment.

Modern Georgia courts now require comprehensive Parenting Plans that detail schedules and holiday rotations. For a deeper look at the legal factors involved, explore our 7 common questions about child custody in Georgia answered by Atlanta experts.

Can I Modify Alimony or Child Support After a Divorce in Atlanta?

Yes, you can modify alimony or child support if you prove a “substantial change in circumstances,” such as a significant income shift or a change in a child’s needs.

Important 2026 Update: As of January 1, 2026, Georgia law has introduced Mandatory Parenting Time Adjustments. This means child support is now calculated based on the actual number of overnights each parent has, which may create new opportunities for modification. To understand how these changes affect you, read about modifying alimony or child support in Atlanta.

How Does Property Division Work in Georgia Divorces?

Georgia is an “equitable division” state, meaning marital assets are split fairly but not necessarily in a 50/50 ratio. Factors include the marriage duration, each spouse’s financial contribution, and future earning capacity. Assets owned before marriage are typically separate, but they can become marital property if “commingled.”

For cases involving professional practices, executive stock options, or homes in Buckhead and Midtown, precision is key. Learn how we handle high-asset property division in Atlanta divorces to protect your wealth.

How long does a divorce take in Georgia?

The duration of a divorce in Atlanta depends on whether the case is uncontested or contested. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all terms, can be finalized in as few as 31 days. However, contested divorces involving complex assets or custody disputes often take several months to over a year to reach a final decree.

Filing in busy jurisdictions like the Fulton County Superior Court can also impact the timeline. For a detailed breakdown of the stages, read our comprehensive guide on how long a divorce takes in Atlanta, GA.

Does Georgia recognize "legal separation"?

This option is often chosen for religious reasons or to maintain health insurance benefits. An Atlanta family law attorney can help you determine if Separate Maintenance or a formal divorce is the better strategy for your family.
