Experienced Georgia Divorce Attorneys You Can Count On
Divorce can happen at any stage of the marriage. You may be raising young children, be empty nesters or only have matters of property to address because the marriage is still new. No matter what your stage of life or the length of your marriage, divorce is an emotional process and retaining an experienced attorney is one of the most important decisions you will make. The family law attorneys at VanLanduyt Law handle divorce cases through the metro Atlanta area and other parts of the state.
Uncontested Divorce
When a couple agrees to terms of separation, the divorce is uncontested and means the parties have already discussed and worked out issues related to the separation of property, alimony, child support and visitation. An uncontested divorce avoids litigation and reduces the emotional stress and legal fees associated with a contested divorce. VanLanduyt Law handles Georgia uncontested divorces and will draft and file the documents needed to finalize the agreement you and your spouse reach.
Contested Divorce
A contested divorce is one in which the parties involved cannot agree on the terms of divorce such as division of assets, alimony or child custody. With contested divorce, the issues must be settled through the courts. Thus, it is important to seek legal counsel to determine your rights and how the divorce process in Georgia may impact your unique situation.
Additionally, Georgia is a separate marital property state. This means that any property acquired before the marriage or during the marriage by virtue of gift or inheritance may be considered separate and not subject to division. However, there are many factors that can impact property division, including corporate entities in which either spouse may have an interest.

Divorce Mediation
Many times, couples that are not able to resolve all of their issues opt for divorce mediation (link to mediation/arbitration), which is typically less stressful and less expensive than a trial. The mediation process also gives couples more control over the process as their matters are resolved outside the court system. Denise VanLanduyt is a registered mediator and arbitrator and can help you determine if this may be an option for your situation.
