Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Grounds for Divorce in Atlanta, Georgia?

In Georgia, divorce can be granted on “fault” or “no-fault” grounds, and this applies to cases filed in Atlanta courts like Fulton County Superior Court. The most common ground is “no-fault,” where the marriage is deemed “irretrievably broken” with no hope of reconciliation. Fault-based grounds include adultery, desertion, cruelty, or substance abuse, which may impact alimony or property division if proven. An experienced Atlanta Family Law Attorney can help you decide which ground applies to your situation and guide you through filing in the appropriate jurisdiction, ensuring your rights are protected under Georgia law.

How Is Child Custody Determined in Atlanta?

In Atlanta, child custody decisions—whether legal (decision-making) or physical (where the child lives)—are based on the “best interests of the child” standard under Georgia law. Judges in courts like DeKalb or Cobb County consider factors such as each parent’s relationship with the child, their ability to provide a stable home, and any history of abuse or neglect. Atlanta’s diverse population, including military families or high-profile individuals, may also involve unique considerations like relocation or privacy. An Atlanta Family Law Attorney from Naggiar & Sarif can advocate for your custody goals, whether through litigation or mediation, tailoring strategies to your family’s needs.

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

Yes, Georgia law allows modification of alimony or child support if there’s a “substantial change in circumstances,” such as job loss, remarriage, or a significant increase in living costs. For Atlanta residents, this might mean filing a modification petition in Fulton County Superior Court or another local jurisdiction. The process requires evidence, like pay stubs or proof of changed needs, and can be complex without legal support. An Atlanta Family Law Attorney can evaluate your case, gather documentation, and represent you to ensure fair adjustments that reflect your current situation.

How Does Property Division Work in Atlanta Divorces?

Georgia follows an “equitable division” rule, meaning marital property in an Atlanta divorce is split fairly—but not necessarily equally—based on factors like each spouse’s financial contribution, earning capacity, and future needs. Separate property (e.g., pre-marriage assets) is typically excluded, but commingling can complicate things. High-asset cases involving Atlanta’s executives or athletes often require detailed valuation of businesses, homes in Buckhead or Midtown, or retirement accounts. An Atlanta Family Law Attorney with Naggiar & Sarif can ensure your assets are properly classified and divided, protecting your financial interests.
