Alpharetta Fathers' Rights Lawyer
In the past, many fathers going though the divorce process in Georgia felt that the court was biased against them. In some cases, those feelings were justified, especially in areas such as child custody. Today, Georgia courts have changed.
At The Siemon Law Firm, our Atlanta divorce lawyers represent fathers going through the divorce process in the Atlanta metropolitan area. As a father, you have a right to equal treatment under our laws when it comes to divorce. Our lawyers have a firm commitment to protect your rights and help you get everything you are entitled to under Georgia law.
Attorneys Who Will Protect Your Rights in Divorce
From your initial consultation with an attorney at our firm, through negotiations with your spouse and her attorney, we will keep our focus on the issues that are important to you, such as:
- Marital property division: Georgia courts award property by the law of equitable distribution, which is not necessarily the same as equal. Men are just as likely as women to receive the marital home or obtain a greater share of marital property.
- Alimony: Men just as likely to pay — or receive — alimony as their spouse. Spousal support is based on factors such as need and the higher-earning spouse's ability to pay, not on gender.
- Child custody: Courts are just as likely to award child custody to a father as a mother. Courts give weight to who has been the primary caretaker, regardless of gender.
- Child support: In Georgia, child support is based on the incomes of both parents, the number of children you support, and the custody arrangement. If you have 50-50 child custody and both you and your ex spouse earn roughly the same amount, you may not have to pay support.
