How Your Divorce Moves Through the Family Division

• Venue and courthouse: Confirm the right county before filing. A divorce is generally filed in the Superior Court of the county where the responding spouse lives, so the correct venue depends on your circumstances. We confirm the proper court for your case.
• Automatic Domestic Standing Order — Required with new filings. It preserves property, prohibits asset transfers, maintains insurance coverage, and sets conduct rules for both sides. Find the current version under Family Law Forms or use the January 2025 PDF
• 30, 60, and 120-day conferences — Fulton schedules mandatory status conferences to keep cases moving. The first two conferences are typically handled by a senior associate judge. The 120-day conference is usually before your assigned judge. Review guidance on 30 and 60-day conferences
• Families in Transition seminar — In cases with children, both parents must complete the program and file certificates before your first conference. Registration details are under Family Law Forms. Cost is approximately $40 per person. We register you and file proof with the Clerk
• Financial disclosure — Both parties must complete a Georgia Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit detailing income, expenses, assets, and debts. Judges rely on these affidavits for temporary and final orders on support and property division
• Temporary hearings — If you need immediate relief on custody, support, or exclusive use of the home, we file motions for temporary hearings. The timing of a temporary hearing depends on the court calendar, and these orders establish ground rules while the case proceeds
• Discovery — Contested cases often require formal discovery to verify income, locate assets, and build evidence. We use interrogatories, requests for production, and depositions strategically
• Mediation and ADR — Many judges require mediation before trial. The court ADR Office lists program details and mediators. Mediators typically charge $200-400 per hour, split between parties. We prepare comprehensive documentation so the session is productive and the agreement is enforceable
• Trial preparation — If mediation fails, we prepare for trial by organizing exhibits, preparing witnesses, and filing trial briefs. Fulton trials are heard by a judge, not a jury
• Final decree — The judge signs a Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce incorporating either your settlement agreement or the court’s rulings after trial
• Protective orders — The Family Division explains how to request a Temporary Protective Order if you need immediate safety relief
• Arrival tips: Plan extra time for parking and courthouse security, and bring a government-issued photo ID. Some judges allow short remote status conferences by Zoom; we confirm your format and provide detailed instructions.

Parenting plans for South Fulton working families

East Point families often work schedules that require flexible, practical parenting plans. Airport shifts that start before dawn or run past midnight. Logistics and warehouse work on Fulton Industrial. Retail schedules at Camp Creek Marketplace. Healthcare shifts. Your parenting plan needs to reflect your actual work schedule, not a template that assumes nine-to-five jobs.

We address:

• Airport employment schedules at Hartsfield-Jackson including early shifts, late shifts, and rotating schedules
• Logistics and warehouse work on Fulton Industrial Boulevard with variable hours
• Retail and service work schedules including evenings and weekends
• Healthcare shifts with on-call requirements
• MARTA commute times when planning realistic exchange schedules
• School district boundaries within Fulton County when parents live in different areas
• Transportation logistics along I-85, Camp Creek Parkway, and Washington Road
• Extracurricular activities at South Fulton schools and recreation programs
• Holiday schedules that work for both families’ traditions and work commitments
• Backup childcare arrangements when work schedules conflict with custody time
• Modification procedures when work schedules change

Judges require specificity. Vague language creates disputes and contempt motions. We draft detailed schedules showing exactly when exchanges happen, where they occur (specific intersections or public locations work better than home addresses when there are safety concerns), and who handles school pickup. When work schedules change, we file modifications promptly so your order stays current and enforceable.

Pricing and retainers

Most matters begin with a retainer that matches the complexity and urgency of your case. We bill against the retainer and send clear monthly statements showing work performed, time spent, and remaining balance. Even an uncontested case usually needs a retainer and the court filing fee. We quote a working budget at your case evaluation and update it as the case evolves.

Zero-interest payment plans are available through LawPay. We understand that legal fees are a burden, so we work with you to create payment arrangements that fit your budget. In appropriate cases, we can request that the court order the other party to contribute to your attorney’s fees, though this decision rests with the judge and depends on income disparity and other statutory factors.
