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

Understanding what type of divorce you need is important. You want to choose the option that's going to be easiest for your situation, but you also probably don't want to give up on the things that are most important to you, just to get through a divorce faster. If you and your spouse are in full agreement on every aspect of your divorce, you need an uncontested divorce. If you can't agree, though, a contested divorce will be necessary. That takes longer, and may require the courts to decide some issues for you.
Does the Fayetteville Family Law Office Offer Weekend Hours?
Yes, the Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor family law office in Fayetteville offers weekend hours. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm, Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and Sunday by appointment. If you aren't able to meet with your divorce attorney during the week, you can come to the office on a Saturday or schedule a Sunday appointment. Your divorce proceedings are important, and Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor is committed to being as accommodating as possible to help you.
Does Stearns-Montgomery & Proctor Offer Divorce Mediation in Fayetteville?
Yes, Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor offers divorce mediation at the Fayetteville office. Mediation is one of the most important tools you can use when you're moving through a divorce. It can help the case proceed faster, and may also keep you from having the court make decisions in the case. When you and your spouse agree on most things, but you have an area or two where you can't reach a compromise, working with an established mediator may be just what it needed to help you both reach an agreement.
