Not always. If you and your spouse are able to reach an agreement regarding all issues that arise during a divorce proceeding, including those concerning finances, property division and child custody, this agreement may be presented to the court for court approval. Upon approval, the matter will be resolved. However, if the parties are unable to reach an agreement, even if it involves only a single issue, the matter will have to brought before a judge or a jury.

The mediation process exists so the two parties and their lawyers can present their sides of the dispute to a neutral third-party facilitator. The facilitator or mediator can then work with the parties and their lawyers to help reach a solution that is fair and acceptable to both sides.

If you own or have an interest in a business, a prenup can protect not only you but the business and any partners or employees involved as well. Many people in second marriages use prenups to keep some assets separate either for children from earlier marriages or to satisfy obligations to former spouses.

A prenuptial agreement ("prenup" for short) is a written contract created by two people before they are married. A prenup typically lists all of the property each person owns (as well as any debts) and specifies what each person's property rights will be after the marriage.

An attorney may be able to help you establish your parenthood and start building a relationship with your child. Once you’ve established that you’re the child’s biological parent, your attorney may help you shoot for full or joint custody, whichever option is in the child’s best interests. If you’re not looking for custody, your attorney might help you argue for visitation rights that help you balance parenthood with your other responsibilities. Your attorney may also help settle other disputes like child support payments. First off, you’ll have to prove paternity. If your name is already listed on the child’s birth certificate, you won’t have to do anything else. If not, you can take a genetic test to prove that you’re the child’s father. Keep in mind that you have to be biologically related to the child.

If you’re an unwed mother in the state of Georgia, you’re automatically granted full custody of your child. But if you’re an unwed father, the situation becomes a lot more complicated. You’ll have to take several steps before you have a legal claim over the child. First off, you’ll have to prove paternity. If your name is already listed on the child’s birth certificate, you won’t have to do anything else. If not, you can take a genetic test to prove that you’re the child’s father. Keep in mind that you have to be biologically related to the child.

If you’re an unmarried parent in Georgia, getting visitation or custody rights can be challenging, particularly if you’re an unwed father. Many fathers are surprised to learn that establishing paternity doesn’t automatically grant them visitation rights.

The termination of the biological parent’s rights can be voluntary or involuntary. Our lawyers are prepared to guide you through the termination process. Once the biological parent’s rights are terminated, he or she would not be responsible for paying child support.

Stepparent adoptions are sometimes called “adoption terminations” because the rights of biological parent must first be terminated before the stepparent can adopt. Because the biological parent’s rights must be fully terminated, stepparent adoptions are usually only appropriate when the biological parent is no longer involved in the child’s life.

Under Georgia law there is no presumption in favor of either parent. Instead, child custody orders will be based on the best interests of the child.
