Divorce can vary from simple and cost-effective to intricate and expensive, impacting both your emotions and finances. The more you and your spouse can agree upon early on, the smoother and more affordable the process will be. However, if even one party—whether it’s you, your spouse, or either attorney—adopts an unreasonable stance, the process can become more contentious, time-intensive, and costly. The dedicated Atlanta divorce attorneys at Naggiar & Sarif will act as your trusted advocates, guiding you through this complex journey with confidence and clarity.
Our primary aim is to resolve your case without resorting to trial or litigation, prioritizing out-of-court solutions for the well-being of you and your family. That said, our extensive experience equips us to handle situations where court involvement becomes necessary.

“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."

Danny Naggiar, the managing partner, brings over two decades of legal expertise from his education at Georgetown University Law Center and his background as a military officer. A California native now rooted in Atlanta, he’s a trusted advocate in contested custody and high-stakes divorce cases, delivering results with professionalism and care.
David Sarif, a founding partner of Naggiar & Sarif, is an Atlanta-raised trial attorney and mediator with a passion for resolving complex family law matters. Trained at Georgia State University College of Law, where he earned the CALI Award, he’s known for his discreet handling of high-profile divorces and his dedication to protecting clients’ interests.
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. Learn more here.
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. To learn more about these processes and which option may be right for you, read our detailed guide on contested vs. uncontested divorce in Atlanta. 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. For a deeper understanding of this process, explore our comprehensive guide on how property is divided in an Atlanta divorce. 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. Learn more
