Practical Legal Guidance for Divorce, Custody, and Other Important Family Matters

Family law decisions can affect your finances, your children, and your future. BRAWW Law provides practical guidance to help you understand your options, protect what matters most, and move forward with confidence.

Talk to an Attorney

No two families are alike, and neither are the legal issues they face. Some divorces are relatively straightforward. Others involve significant assets, business interests, complex compensation, contested custody matters, or disagreements that make resolution more difficult.

BRAWW Law represents clients across a broad range of family law matters, from planning before a marriage to divorce, custody and support proceedings, and post-divorce modifications and enforcement.

Our attorneys work to resolve issues efficiently and amicably when possible while preparing to advocate for our clients in court, when necessary. Throughout the process, we help clients understand which issues deserve attention, identify the information they need, and consider the long-term implications of their decisions.

How We Help Family Law Clients

Divorce requires couples to divide assets, responsibilities, and other aspects of life that may have been shared for many years. Before agreeing to a settlement, it is important to understand both your legal rights and the financial implications of the decisions being made.

We help clients address the legal and financial issues involved in divorce, including:

  • Contested and uncontested divorce
  • Alimony
  • Marital and separate property
  • Property and debt division
  • Business and professional practice interests
  • Retirement accounts and other investments
  • Real estate
  • Financial disclosure and discovery
  • Negotiation and mediation
  • Divorce litigation

Decisions involving children are often the most important and emotionally difficult part of a divorce or separation. BRAWW Law helps parents address custody and parenting arrangements with an understanding that the legal agreement must also work in everyday life.

We assist with:

  • Legal and physical custody
  • Parenting plans
  • Visitation and parenting time
  • Decision-making authority
  • Relocation issues
  • Custody disputes
  • Modification of existing custody arrangements
  • Enforcement of custody and parenting orders

When parents can reach an agreement, we help formalize it clearly. When they cannot, we advocate for our client’s rights and the best interests of the children.

Child support can be an important source of financial stability for children following divorce or separation, but determining the appropriate amount involves more than looking at one parent’s salary.

We help clients evaluate the information used to establish, modify, and enforce support, including:

  • Establishing child support
  • Evaluating income and financial information
  • Child support calculations
  • Extraordinary expenses
  • Modification of existing support orders
  • Enforcement and collection of unpaid support
  • Support issues involving changing financial circumstances

Planning for the possibility of divorce may feel uncomfortable, but clear agreements can provide both parties with greater financial certainty and reduce the potential for future conflict. Prenuptial agreements allow couples to address financial rights and responsibilities before marriage. Postnuptial agreements can address similar issues after a couple is already married.

We help clients prepare, review, and negotiate agreements addressing matters such as:

  • Separate and marital property
  • Business ownership interests
  • Existing assets and liabilities
  • Inheritances and family wealth
  • Financial responsibilities during marriage
  • Property division in the event of divorce
  • Alimony and other financial considerations

These agreements can be particularly important when one or both parties own a business, have significant assets or debt, expect an inheritance, have children from a previous relationship, or want greater financial clarity.

A divorce decree or custody order may resolve a case, but circumstances don’t always remain the same. Changes in income, employment, children’s needs, living arrangements, and other significant circumstances may create a reason to revisit an existing order. In other situations, one party may simply fail to comply with what the court has already ordered.

BRAWW Law represents clients seeking or opposing modifications and those who need help enforcing existing judgments involving:

  • Child custody
  • Parenting time and visitation
  • Child support
  • Alimony
  • Other obligations established by a divorce decree or court order

You don’t have to wait until divorce papers are filed to speak with a family law attorney. In fact, some of the most important decisions happen before the legal process formally begins. Understanding your financial position, gathering information, and learning what to expect can help you make more thoughtful decisions rather than reacting under pressure.

If you are considering divorce, our attorneys can help you think through issues such as:

  • Your current financial position
  • Assets, liabilities and sources of income
  • Important financial and legal documents
  • Ownership of businesses or other significant assets
  • Housing and living arrangements
  • Potential custody and parenting considerations
  • Financial support
  • What to expect from the divorce process

Talking with an attorney does not obligate you to file for divorce. It gives you information to decide what makes sense for you and your family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start by gathering information that gives you a clear picture of your household finances, including recent tax returns, bank and investment statements, retirement accounts, mortgage and loan documents, credit card statements, income records, insurance policies, and information about real estate or business interests. Having access to key financial records can help you better understand the issues that may need to be addressed.

In some circumstances, yes. Significant changes in income, a child’s needs, living arrangements, or other circumstances may support modification of an existing order. The requirements differ depending on what you are seeking to change, so it is important to understand whether your circumstances meet the applicable legal standard.

No. Many issues can be resolved through direct negotiation between attorneys or mediation. If the parties reach an agreement, the terms can generally be incorporated into the final divorce documents. However, when important issues cannot be resolved, the court may need to decide them.

Court orders are enforceable. Depending on the issue, legal action may be available to compel compliance with obligations involving alimony, custody, parenting time, property, or other terms of the judgment. The appropriate approach depends on the nature of the violation and the existing order.

Property division depends on the facts of the marriage, including which assets are considered marital property and which may be separate property. Identifying assets, debts, business interests, real estate, retirement accounts, and other property is an important part of the process before decisions about division can be made.

Not every couple needs one. A prenuptial agreement may be particularly worth considering when either person owns a business, has significant premarital assets or debt, expects an inheritance, has children from a previous relationship, or wants to establish financial expectations before marriage.

Georgia uses statutory guidelines that consider the income of both parents along with other relevant factors and certain expenses. Because income and family circumstances can be more complicated than they initially appear, an attorney can help evaluate the information used in the calculation and whether adjustments may apply.

Yes. Meeting with an attorney before filing can help you understand your financial situation, identify documents and information you may need, and learn what legal issues could arise. Getting information doesn’t commit you to ending your marriage; it can simply help you make a more informed decision.
