Our family law attorneys will answer all of your questions regarding the care of your children following a divorce.

Post-Judgment Modifications

Many things can change after a divorce is final. Does the judgment need to be modified to meet those changes? What factors does the Court consider in determining whether to modify child support or alimony ? Talk to an experienced family law attorney.

ADR/Mediation

Many Courts have gone to mandatory mediation in domestic relations matters. Mediation can often be a cost saving method of resolving complex divorce, child custody and contempt and other domestic cases.

Alimony and Spousal Support

The Judge or Jury can consider numerous factors in determining whether alimony should be awarded, including but not limited to:

• Duration of the marriage
• Causes of separation
• Standard of living
• Financial resources
• If applicable, time necessary to obtain education and training for employment
• Contributions, including homemaking, childcare, education, and career building
• Condition of the parties, including separate estate, earning capacity and fixed liabilities
• Such other factors as are equitable and proper

At Coleman & Chambers, LLP we will discuss each of these factors with you to determine if alimony is appropriate in your case.

Legitimation and Paternity

• Were the parents married at the time the child was conceived?
• Did the parents marry subsequent to the birth of the child?

We can assist you in establishing or denying the parentage of a child.

Pre-Nuptial and Post-Nuptial Agreement

Many people are getting married later in life; and therefore, they have accumulated significant property. We review and draft pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements on a regular basis.

Grandparent and Third Party Custody/Visitation Actions

The lawyers of Coleman & Chambers, LLP represent grandparents, aunts and uncles in pursuit of visitation and/or custody. Parents who are sometimes suffering from addiction issues are unable to care for their children and the grandparents need to raise their children.

Contempt Actions

• Has the mother or father been fully and timely paying child support?
• Has the parent completed Anger Management as Court ordered?
• Is the parent refraining from drinking or consuming drugs when the children are in his/her care?

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence includes both emotional and physical abuse, threats, stalking and similar mistreatment. Our lawyers can determine whether a Petition under the Family Violence Act is appropriate or whether a Restraining Order should be entered within the pending divorce action. We can also defend false allegations of abuse.

Adoption

Our firm handles a wide range of adoptions including, but not limited to:

• Step-parent adoptions
• Third party adoptions
• Agency adoption
• Relative adoptions

Juvenile Law

Juvenile Courts of Georgia are empowered to hear issues surrounding:

• Criminal charges/delinquency
