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.
• Uncontested adoption: We assist clients in adopting a child without the need of an agency.
• Fathers' rights We help fathers gain legal rights to their children born out of wedlock.
• Prenuptial / postnuptial agreements: Our firm drafts these agreements to help protect complex or specific assets in the event of a divorce.

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.
• Mediation: Family law attorney Jody A. Miller is a certified mediator. She helps parties reach agreements on family law issues without the stress of litigation and the courtroom.
• Alimony: We help clients assert their claim to temporary, rehabilitative, and permanent alimony.
• Child Support: Child support laws in Georgia have been significantly revised by the Georgia legislature, as periodically happens. We will help clients navigate and understand the law regarding child support.
• Child custody and visitation: In January 2008, the state of Georgia changed child custody and visitation laws. We will advise you about your rights under these new circumstances.

Juvenile Law

Our juvenile law practice encompasses three main areas: juvenile delinquency, child deprivation hearings, and termination of parental rights hearings. We defend parents accused of child neglect in child deprivation hearings and parents challenging the proposed termination of their parental rights in termination hearings. We also represent children in juvenile delinquency hearings in juvenile court.
