Contempt
Once a judge issues a final decree on your divorce, child support, alimony (spousal support), or child custody and visitation, you and your spouse are required to abide by the order. If you or your spouse do not abide by the order, the other spouse may file a contempt motion, and the judge has the discretion to enforce the original terms of the divorce. The Judge has a variety of ways to enforce their order. Some of the enforcement options include: Wage Reduction. The most common way a judge enforces their order is a wage deduction. A wage deduction requires an ...
Child Support
GA Child Support | GA Child Support Guidelines / GA Child Support Worksheet One question always in the mind of a divorcing parent is the question of child support, who will pay child support and how much will the child support be. Whether you pay child support or receive it, it is best to look at the support as an award to the children, with the parent receiving it a trustee of the award. In Georgia, the amount of child support is determined by using a formula set by Georgia's state statutes and is called the Georgia Child Support Guidelines. The ...

Spousal Support / Alimony
If you are considering a divorce and have questions about alimony (also called spousal maintenance or spousal support) you are not alone. Because the court has a broad discretion to award alimony there are not many hard and fast rules. Generally, alimony is paid from one spouse to another for day-to-day support of their spouse. The court considers many factors before it award alimony, but generally one spouse's need and the other spouse's ability to pay are the two most important factors. There are two types of alimony, rehabilitative support alimony and permanent support alimony. Rehabilitative Spousal Support / Alimony Rehabilitative spousal support is ...
Legal Separation
If you and your spouse have not decided on a divorce or your religious belief do not allow for a divorce, but you would like to live apart either temporarily or permanently, a legal separation may be right for you. A legal separation allows you and your spouse to live separately and formalize the arrangement by a court order or through a written agreement. The order or agreement will specify what support, if any, one spouse will pay the other and may include child support, alimony, and the equitable division of your marital property and debts, all the same items ...
Modifications
Modification of Child Support | Modification of Alimony The general rule is that after a divorce decree is final and the term of the court has expired, neither the parties nor the court has the authority to modify the terms of the divorce decree. However, as with most general rules there are many exceptions. Additionally, even if you and your spouse agree to modify the child support terms or periodic alimony amount it must be approved by a Judge to be legally enforceable. The way the modification process works is if you and your spouse can not agree on a change, you must ...

Division of Property & Debts
If you are considering a divorce, you may be wondering what property you or your spouse may keep from the marriage. In a Georgia divorce, marital property, assets and debts are separated between the spouses fairly, and is called the equitable division of property. Regardless of the process you choose for your divorce Uncontested, Mediation, Collaboration, or Litigation, you must equitably divide the property and debts of your marriage. During the equitable division of property, all real and personal property, assets and debts acquired by you and your spouse during your marriage are divided fairly. If a spouse brings property, assets ...
Uncontested Divorce
