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 — The court requires this order with new filings. It preserves property, prohibits asset transfers, maintains insurance coverage, and sets conduct rules until the judge enters other orders. Use the current version on the court website or the January 2025 PDF
• 30, 60, and 120-day conferences — The Family Division tracks progress with scheduled status conferences. The first two conferences are typically handled by a senior associate judge or judicial officer. The 120-day conference is usually before your assigned judge. Review guidance on 30 and 60-day conferences to understand expectations
• Families in Transition seminar — If your case involves children, both parents must complete the Families in Transition course and file certificates before the first conference. Registration details are under Family Law Forms. Cost is approximately $40 per person
• Financial disclosure — Both parties must complete a Georgia Domestic Relations Financial Affidavit detailing income, expenses, assets, and debts. For high-asset cases, supplemental schedules listing stock portfolios, business interests, and real estate holdings are typically required. Forms are available under Family Law Forms
• Discovery in complex cases — High-asset divorces often require formal discovery including interrogatories, requests for production of financial documents, and depositions. We use discovery strategically to verify income, locate assets, and obtain evidence supporting your position on property division and support
• 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 and settlement proposals so mediation sessions are productive and focused on creating enforceable, durable agreements
• Expert witnesses — High-asset cases often require expert testimony on business valuation, stock option analysis, real estate appraisal, or vocational evaluation. We work with qualified experts and prepare them to present clear, persuasive testimony
• Arrival tips from Roswell — Plan extra time for parking and courthouse security, and bring a government-issued photo ID. Some short conferences may be set by video at the judge’s discretion. We confirm your format and provide detailed instructions

High-asset divorce in Roswell: What you need to know

Roswell’s professional community creates unique divorce complexity. Corporate executives receive RSUs and performance stock. Medical professionals have partnership stakes and hospital privileges. Entrepreneurs own closely held businesses with significant goodwill. Real estate portfolios span multiple properties. These assets require expert valuation, strategic tax planning, and sophisticated negotiation.

Common high-asset issues for Roswell families:

• RSU and stock option division — Determining which grants are marital property based on award dates and vesting schedules. Analyzing whether unvested options represent compensation for past, current, or future work. Structuring division to minimize tax consequences and preserve value
• Executive compensation packages — Calculating true income including base salary, annual bonuses, long-term incentive plans, deferred compensation, and performance awards for accurate child support and alimony determinations
• Business valuation and division — Retaining qualified business appraisers to value closely held companies, medical practices, and professional partnerships. Distinguishing personal goodwill from enterprise goodwill. Analyzing whether business value increased due to marital efforts or separate property
• Real estate portfolio management — Appraising the marital home, investment properties, and vacation homes. Structuring sales or buyouts. Determining separate property claims based on pre-marital ownership or inheritance. Analyzing rental income and cash flow
• Retirement account division — Drafting Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) for 401(k) plans and pensions. Dividing IRAs without triggering tax penalties. Valuing defined benefit plans and determining present value
• Hidden asset discovery — Using forensic accountants when you suspect unreported income, transfers to business entities, or assets moved to relatives. Analyzing tax returns, bank statements, and business records to locate undisclosed assets

Parenting plans for professional families

Roswell families often juggle demanding careers, frequent travel, and packed extracurricular schedules. Parenting plans must be detailed enough to prevent disputes while flexible enough to accommodate professional obligations.

We address:

• Executive travel schedules and makeup parenting time when business trips interfere with scheduled custody
• Medical professional call schedules and shift rotations
• School district boundaries when parents live in different attendance zones
• Extracurricular activity transportation and cost-sharing for competitive sports, music programs, and academic enrichment
• Holiday and vacation schedules that work with corporate blackout dates and peak business periods
• Technology use policies and screen time boundaries appropriate for your family
• College savings and private school tuition responsibilities beyond the age of majority

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. 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 factors.
