Canton Adoption
At Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor, uniting children with adoptive parents is one of the best parts of our job. Our Canton 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 Canton. 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.
