Experienced Divorce Attorneys in Atlanta, Georgia

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 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 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 attorneys will guide you through this process, providing clear explanations every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the divorce process work in Georgia?

The divorce process can work in a variety of ways, depending on the circumstances of your case. Below is a generic overview of the basic divorce process:

One spouse files a complaint for divorce in the appropriate county

The complaint for divorce is then served, by law on the other party. This can be accomplished by agreement or through law enforcement.

The party being sued for divorce has 30 days to file a response for the complaint for divorce.

Either party may request a temporary hearing to resolve matters of child support, custody or spousal support on a temporary basis.

During this time the parties may exchange information about all aspects relating to each other as it pertains to their divorce, via a process called discovery.

At this time the parties may exchange settlement offers or attend a formal mediation where a neutral party hopes to facilitate a settlement of all matters before trial.

If the parties are unable to settle their case they may request a trial before a judge or a jury.

How long does the divorce process take?

By law the state of Georgia can only grant a divorce 31 days after everything has been filed. Therefore, technically, it is possible to get divorced in 32 days, but this occurs in the rarest of circumstances and typically applies to uncontested divorces.

The length of the divorce process is really based on the complexity of the case. Some examples include, the inability to agree on any aspect of their divorce, parties with complex financial assets and battles over child custody. Before a court will grant a divorce, every issue pertaining to the spouse’s marriage needs to be resolved and the conduct of the parties during this process can greatly shorten or lengthen the divorce process.

How much does a divorce cost?

Once again, this answer depends on the circumstances of the party. Costs can vary based on the ability or inability of the parties to come to an agreement on their divorce issues. Generally, the more the parties agree upon the less they will spend on their divorce.

Can I file for divorce myself?

Yes. Georgia allows for parties to represent themselves in a divorce action.

The Atlanta Divorce Process

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 divorce attorneys will help parents navigate the legal process, advocating for their rights and ensuring their children’s well-being.

During divorce proceedings, emotions can run high, making communication between estranged spouses difficult. This is where legal representation becomes essential. Our experienced attorney serves as a mediator, helping to facilitate discussions and negotiations between both parties. With their guidance, emotions are kept in check, ensuring the focus remains on achieving a fair and equitable resolution.

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.
