Family Law and Divorce
Our firm provides comprehensive family law services that address issues such as divorce, child support, child custody, alimony, paternity, legitimation and post-decree modification and enforcement.
- Divorce: We offer legal counsel and advocacy for people going through a divorce, whether that means working for an out of court agreement with your spouse or litigating issues in court.
- Child Custody and Visitation Rights: Attorney G. Cleveland Payne III can answer your questions regarding physical custody, legal custody and other factors involved in parenting plans. Our firm seeks to allow each parent meaningful access to the children.
- Child Support: We represent parents who will be paying child support and those who will be receiving support payments on behalf of their children. Georgia state child support guidelines are used to determine the amount of support, but deviations can be made in the best interests of the child for things like healthcare and childcare expenses.
- Alimony: Our firm represents people who will be receiving alimony (also called spousal support) and those who will be responsible for payments. We seek all types of alimony on behalf of clients, including temporary, rehabilitative, lump-sum and permanent.
- Property Division: We protect your rights as an equitable division of property is reached.
- Paternity: We help mothers file paternity actions to establish paternity and seek child support from the child's father.
- Legitimation: We help fathers file suits for legitimation to obtain visitation, parenting time and fulfill responsibilities to their children.
Probate and Guardianships
- Probate Litigation and Contested Wills: We represent executors, administrators, heirs and family members involved in probate disputes. These disputes can involve many issues, including the validity of a person's will and the individual's capacity when establishing his or her will.
- Guardianship and Conservatorship: We handle guardianship/conservatorship proceedings in probate court. If you are concerned about the well-being of an incapacitated adult or minor child, appointing a guardian/conservator may be beneficial. We can represent you throughout this complicated process.
