Adoption
At Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor, uniting children with adoptive parents is one of the best parts of our job. Our family law attorneys help families through the adoption process from start to finish.
When considering an annulment the goal is to have your marriage completely eradicated from historical records, while a divorce is concrete and will be documented for life.
Disputes over child custody and visitation are among the most hotly contested in Georgia family law cases. While the court has established legal guidelines to follow, there are always extenuating factors which must be considered.
High asset divorces work similarly to normal divorces, with two main differences. First, there’s a lot more at stake—often in terms of your marital investments. Second, there is a lot of unusual complexity.
Technically, there is no such thing as a legal separation in Gainesville. However, you can file for a separate maintenance action, defined as a judicial determination to separate spouses and provide support without a judicial termination of the marriage.
While same sex partners have the same rights as any other couple under Georgia divorce laws, there are legal complications that can arise when break ups occur.
We can talk about our experience, dedication to family law and unique team approach, but there
is something more valuable-what our clients say about their personal experience with us.

We were very pleased with Judy and staff. They were always very responsive when I emailed with a question. We are so thankful for the help so my husband could adopt my daughter . They handled everything and that made the process less stressful. We would both recommend Judy and the law firm . 10/10
" They know their stuff PERIOD. "
We searched for a family attorney for 2 months that we felt would do a good job working for us with no luck until we found this law firm. Our initial consultation with Judy was very informative! We knew we found an attorney who would work hard for us. Judy, Kristi (Paralegal) and Brittni (financial services) kept us abreast of every step and detail. Judy was very hands on and provided detail responses to our questions via email. Our day in court confirmed we hired the right attorney when Judge Miller acknowledged the thorough work Judy did on our behalf. If you're on the fence, don't be! Hire Judy, she will fight for you!
10 Stars for Judy!
Thank you from Michael and Dr. Christina Ross
" ...a close-knit, family environment, and the lawyers care about your personal issues. "
This law firm was amazing my wife and I never felt like we did not know what was going on Judy and her team worked from the first call and kept us up to date on everything if we ever have any legal issues again I know I can go to them and trust they will work hard for us and never give us broke promises I recommend this law firm to anyone
" Everyone I’ve met from the clerical staff, bookkeepers to the paralegals wants to ensure your questions are answered to the best of their ability - and if they don’t know, they will be expedient in finding out the answer. "
I cannot express enough, the gratitude I have for Attorney Judy Sartain and her amazing team at Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor Law Firm.
I recently adopted two of my grandchildren after having custody of them since July 2019.
I originally retained the same attorney who handled the custody case to do the same for my adoption case. Big mistake! The law firm he worked for began transitioning to personal injury law and my case got put on the back burner for 2 months. I decided to let him go and just hope for the best for my grandchildren. However, I could not let that happen. I went to the internet and found Attorney Judy Sartain, who had an impressive 900 adoptions to her credit, at that time. She now has over 1000 adoptions!
During the initial consultation, I knew, without a doubt, that Judy Sartain was the attorney I absolutely had to have. She was open, honest and passionate about getting this adoption taken care of. She was a “bulldog” and that’s what I needed. I retained her and she and her team got the job done. I knew upfront what was expected of me and what I could expect from her. No surprises!
Please take it from me…Don’t let the cheaper attorneys fool you. You get what you pay for. With Attorney Judy Sartain, you get “the best.”
" This is a tremendously caring and skilled firm… "
" ..thank you to the amazing set of lawyers, paralegals and staff that dedicated their time and energy to helping my brother. Each person went to bat so strongly, emotionally and passionately for my brother and his children. "
