Your local connection in the Ocmulgee Circuit

Hoganne Harrison‑Walton serves families across the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit and lives in Milledgeville. She is a Baldwin County native with five generations of roots. She serves as a court appointed Guardian ad Litem in the Ocmulgee Circuit and in Fulton County. Her philosophy is simple. Passionate, caring, and reliable representation. Bringing life to the courtroom, not the courtroom to your life. That people first approach is how she practices every day.

Where your Putnam County case is filed

Most family law matters are handled in Superior Court at the Putnam County Courthouse, 100 South Jefferson Avenue, Suite 236, Eatonton, GA 31024. The elected Clerk is Trevor J. Addison. The Clerk’s site lists address, phone, and links for e‑filing and forms.

E‑filing
In the Ocmulgee Circuit, electronic filing is mandatory for attorneys in civil cases. The circuit uses PeachCourt as its e‑filing service. We handle your filing and confirm your case number.

What we handle for Putnam 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 uses the best interests of the child standard. A written parenting plan is required in permanent custody cases and most modifications. We draft a plan that fits your work, school, and lake schedule.

Child Support
Start it. Enforce it. Modify it when life changes. We use the official Georgia Child Support Calculator and file the required worksheet with your case.

High asset and business owner divorce
Small business valuation. Retirement accounts. Equity awards. Lake property on the Putnam side of Lake Oconee. Clean documentation from day one.

Legitimation and Paternity
Establish legal rights for fathers. Then build parenting time 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 Temporary Protective Order. Petitions must be filed with the Superior Court Clerk in the county where the respondent lives. Official protective order forms are maintained by the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Authority. We prepare your petition and walk you through each step.

How Putnam County family cases usually move

Parent education
The Ocmulgee Circuit’s standing order says it is no longer a blanket requirement to attend a divorcing parents seminar to get a divorce. Judges can still order a class in a specific case. We will confirm your judge’s instructions.

Mediation
Contested cases are often sent to mediation before trial. Courts across the Eighth Judicial Administrative District make regular referrals, and parties use mediators registered with the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution. We prepare you so the session is productive and the agreement is solid.

Approved forms and checklists
The Eighth District site hosts the Ocmulgee Circuit Standing Order and approved forms for common filings. We take care of the paperwork and make sure your filing follows local rules.

Paper filing for TPOs
The circuit standing order requires manual paper filing for certain documents. That includes temporary protective orders. We will handle those filings in person when needed.
