Creative Solutions to Family Law and Divorce Problems

Our philosophy is to provide outstanding and creative legal services in the area of general family law in an atmosphere in which client service and communication is our first priority. We never forget that while we deal with family law issues every day, this process is new to our clients, and each client deserves legal representation by an attorney who will take the time to listen, provide information, and return phone calls.

At the Atlanta, Georgia law practice of Jody A. Miller, Attorney at Law, there is a face behind every file, and we ensure constant communication with clients and prompt response to clients' requests, questions, and concerns.

We realize that family law litigation can be expensive. Therefore we work with our clients to help them resolve their problems with maximum efficiency while providing highly competent and thorough representation at the most affordable rates possible. Settlement is usually the least expensive and best way to resolve a case because it allows you the most control over the outcome. However if litigation becomes necessary, Ms. Miller is an unwavering advocate for her clients in the courtroom.

The laws relating to family law, juvenile law, and divorce are constantly evolving. It is important to hire a lawyer who considers keeping up with these changes a priority. At the law practice of Jody A. Miller, in Atlanta, Georgia, we provide clients with creative solutions to their most difficult problems. Contact us to learn more about any of these practice areas:

Family Law

Our family law practice focuses on educating clients about their rights and responsibilities, while preparing them for a case related to:

• Paternity and Legitimation: We represent and defend clients in paternity actions and petitions to legitimate a child.
• Modification and Enforcement: We will petition the court to modify an existing court order when circumstances change.  We also help clients in the event that their spouse fails to abide by a divorce decree.
• Domestic Violence: Our firm represents and defends clients in domestic violence actions.

Divorce

We represent clients going through both contested and uncontested divorces. When you are faced with a situation involving a divorce case, it is important to have a legal advocate on your side:

• Collaborative Law: This growing area of the law encourages spouses to work together with a team of interdisciplinary professionals to resolve a divorce case outside of court.
• Alimony: We help clients assert their claim to temporary, rehabilitative, and permanent alimony.
• Child Support: Child support laws in Georgia have significantly revised in the last year. We will help clients navigate and understand the law regarding child support.
• Child Custody and Visitation: Starting in January 2008, the state of Georgia will change child custody and visitation laws. We will advise you about your rights under these new circumstances.

Juvenile Law

Our juvenile law practice encompasses two main areas: juvenile delinquency, and child deprivation hearings. We defend parents accused of child neglect in child deprivation hearings. We also represent children in juvenile delinquency hearings in juvenile court.
