Family Law - Divorce, Division of Assets & Debts, Custody, Child Support, Parental Rights, Spousal Support.

 

Georgia will always focus on settlement in a family law case if there is a reasonable chance to achieve the right result through negotiations.  If out-of-court settlement is impossible, however, due to a difficult spouse, ex-spouse or other parent, then she will represent her client in litigation including the trial and appeal.  

​

The snapshot descriptions below are a sampling of family court cases in which she has represented clients through successful conclusions, reached either through out-of-court settlement or through a trial.

You may see in these snapshots circumstances that are similar to those you are now facing.  Note that these case results do not guarantee the same or similar result for your case.  These snapshots are not a guarantee, warranty, prediction or assurance concerning results that could be obtained in your case. Every client and case, and the outcome of the case, is dependent on the unique facts of each client and case.
