DEBTOR RELIEF – There are many options for debt relief such as Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a federal law provided to you designed to get you a fresh start free from harassing creditor phone calls, lawsuits, repossessions and garnishments. It is a privilege granted to you under the United States Constitution. It forces your creditors to permanently wipe out your debts (Chapter 7) or to accept a repayment plan, which you have proposed (Chapter 13). Please give our office a call to schedule a free consultation to discuss your individualized needs.
DIVORCE – There are thirteen grounds for divorce in the State of Georgia. However, most divorces are granted on the single ground that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” It is not necessary to show any wrongdoing or fault, commonly known as a “no-fault” divorce. There is a six-month residency requirement for filing for a divorce in Georgia. No legal separation period is required. A Final Decree of Divorce will not be granted until all parties have resolved all legal issues by settlement or trial, including child custody, support, visitation, and other financial issues such as division of assets and liabilities. Our office only handles divorce cases that do not involve any children and that are uncontested. Uncontested means that all of the issues are worked out and both parties are in full agreement of the divorce. To schedule a free consultation to discuss your uncontested divorce, please give our office a call.
PROBATE AND ESTATE ADMINISTRATION – Our firm specializes in probate and estate administration. Probate is the legal process by which a person’s debts are paid and assets are distributed upon her/his death. Estate Administration includes the probate process as well as non-probate transfers of the deceased’s assets. Individual state laws direct the probate court how to distribute the deceased’s estate. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased’s assets are distributed correctly.
