Either spouse is entitled to a just and right division (roughly 50%) of the community estate and, in certain extreme cases, a disproportionate share (greater than 50%) of the community estate. This includes all assets acquired during the marriage but does not include a spouse’s separate property. Lunn Law will review your case and help protect you and yours.

In Georgia, the division of community property during a divorce is a major concern. It means that a lot is at stake.

Our divorce attorneys navigate these waters with meticulous attention to detail, working to ensure that the court divides them fairly. We frequently help our clients divide complex assets such as real property, retirement assets, and business assets.

Our approach combines a thorough understanding of Georgia property division laws with a strategic plan tailored to your unique circumstances. You can trust us to advocate for your financial interests with the same care as if they were our own.

Even with strides in equality, it cannot be denied that some courts still have prejudices against dads when it comes to child custody. While usually, the courts will administer fair custody arrangements between both parents, it isn’t wise to leave this matter to chance. We advocate for dads. In Georgia, the father of a child is automatically presumed to be the wife’s husband, so long as there is no active paternity dispute. Your time with your child(ren) is IMPORTANT. We respect that and will do everything we can to make sure the courts respect that, too.

Physical Custody – If you are not granted custody of your children, you can ask the court to modify the custody arrangement. Georgia law requires that the court presume that both parents are equally fit to be the custodial parent. In most cases, the court will grant joint custody to both parents. However, if one parent is deemed unfit or if there is a history of domestic violence, the court may grant sole custody to the other parent.

Visitation – Fathers also have the right to seek reasonable visitation rights. You can ask the court to grant you visitation rights if you are not granted the same level of access to your children as the mother is. You can also ask the court to grant you more visitation time than the mother is granting you.

Legal Custody – The court will also assume that both parents are equally fit to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their children. This means that both parents will have input in decisions such as the child’s education, medical care, and religious upbringing. However, if the court finds that one parent is unfit, he or she will be stripped of this right.

Divorce and Retaliation – Sometimes, an ex-spouse will feel scorned that the marriage is ending. Whether they don’t want the marriage to end or feel as though they are losing their lifestyle, some spouses will stoop low to ensure you are as miserable as they are. While the court frowns upon this practice, that doesn’t prevent it from happening, especially disproportionately to men. Sometimes retaliation can happen in the form of false allegations of violent or sexual misconduct. Lunn Law has seen this practice and will fight to keep your name clear.

Equitable Distribution in South Metro Atlanta – As an “equitable distribution” state, Georgia courts try to divide marital property fairly and evenly. That being said, men are traditionally seen as providers and are often the “sole earners” of the household. This can be detrimental in the case of Alimony or Spousal Support, Child Support, and further distribution of property. Our Attorneys in Men’s Divorce will help us ensure that you and your assets are treated fairly.
