Meet your Ocmulgee Circuit connection
Hoganne Harrison‑Walton serves families across the Ocmulgee Circuit and lives in Milledgeville. Her Baldwin County roots go back five generations. She serves as a court appointed Guardian ad Litem in the Ocmulgee Circuit and in Fulton County. Her philosophy is simple and people first. “Passionate, caring, and reliable representation” and “Bringing life to the courtroom, not the courtroom to your life.”
Where your Jones County case is filed
Most family law matters are filed in Superior Court at 110 South Jefferson Street, Gray, GA 31032. The Jones County Clerk of Court lists address, phone, court links, calendars, and forms.
E‑filing for attorneys
The Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit requires electronic filing for attorneys in civil cases. PeachCourt is the approved e‑filing service. Self‑represented people may still file on paper.
Paper filing for certain documents
Some filings must be done on paper. The Standing Order lists Temporary Protective Orders, adoptions, sealed items, and other restricted filings as paper only. We handle those in person for you.
What we handle for Jones County families
Divorce
Contested and uncontested. Property and debt division. Alimony. Separate maintenance. We design settlements that protect your future.
Child Custody and Parenting Plans
Georgia law uses the best interests of the child. A written parenting plan is required in permanent custody cases and most modifications. We draft a plan that fits work, school, and your family’s weekly rhythm.
Child Support
Start it. Enforce it. Modify it when life changes. We use the official Georgia Child Support Calculator and file the worksheet the court requires under O.C.G.A. 19‑6‑15.
High asset and business owner divorce
Small business valuation. Retirement accounts. Equity awards. Farm and land issues. Clean documentation from day one.
Legitimation and Paternity
Establish legal rights for fathers. Then build a parenting schedule and support that work in real life.
Modifications and Contempt
Update old orders or enforce them when the other side will not comply.
Family Violence Protective Orders
Safety first. There is no filing fee for a Family Violence Protective Order. Petitions are filed with the Superior Court Clerk in the county where the respondent lives. Statewide forms are published by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Authority. We prepare your petition and walk you through each step.
How Jones County family cases usually move
Parent education
The Ocmulgee Circuit issued a standing order in 2021. It states a divorcing parents seminar is no longer a blanket requirement to get a divorce. Judges may still order a class in a specific case. We will verify your judge’s instructions.
Mediation
Most contested cases go to mediation before trial. Mediation often saves time and money and gives you more control. You can find court ADR programs and registered neutrals through the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution directory. We prepare you so the session is productive and the agreement is solid.
Local forms and checklists
The Eighth Judicial Administrative District hosts Ocmulgee Circuit forms and the Circuit Standing Order. We make sure your filing follows local rules.
