Cumming Contested Divorce Attorney

Contested Divorce in Georgia

If you and your spouse cannot reach agreement on one or more of the keys settlement issues involved in your divorce through discussion or mediation it may be necessary to go to court and let the judge decide.  In this case, both sides present their arguments on the disputed issue and once the judge makes a ruling both parties will be bound by it.  Obviously, it is best to try to reach an accord before going to court as it is less costly and often much less contentious.  But divorce is well known for bringing up strong emotions and provoking less than reasonable attitudes.  To protect your best interests and fight for the settlement you feel is proper, you should speak a Cumming divorce lawyer at Van Sant Law, LLC about your situation.

The basic issues to be decided in a divorce settlement are these; property division, custody and visitation, child support and spousal support (alimony).  In a contested divorce there can also be an additional issue of dealing with past or threatened domestic violence if one or the other party is strongly opposed to the divorce.  As you legal representative, we are prepared to deal with and every one of these matters and to help you provide the court with the strongest possible argument to rule on your behalf.

Contested Divorce Lawyer in Cumming

Georgia divorce laws are designed to protect the best interests of any children involved in a divorce settlement.  They are also intended to give both parents an equal ability and opportunity to share in the care and upbringing of their children as much as possible as well as provide any necessary spousal support both during and after the divorce.  What this means as far as "father's rights" is that the father is considered as important in the welfare of his children as is the mother.  This is something any judge will consider as an important point for any settlement agreement made by each side in a contested divorce.  You want a lawyer who is not only experienced in divorce law but is also firmly committed to fighting for your best interests in an effective and convincing way.  Call us today for a confidential consultation.
