About the Marietta Divorce Law Firm

Leading Cobb County divorce attorney, Mary Stearns-Montgomery, began as a solo practitioner back in 1988. Due to her large success and reputation for fighting for her clients, Mary’s growth was almost immediate. She then started a Marietta divorce attorney practice, which was just a small three-room office on Alexander Street, and by 2000 moved a block down into a 5,000 square foot office space. It has since grown to 7,000 square feet to accommodate the large number of mediations conducted on the premises. In 2010, Mary added Georgia divorce lawyer Ryan Proctor, as a partner. Then in 2013, Ryan moved his main office to the Buckhead location. Randy Sabatini became a partner in April 2015 and opened the Alpharetta law office. Melanie Prehoka became partner in the Fall of 2020 and opened the Canton law office.

    Local Legal Information

    FAQ for the Marietta Office

    How Much Does a Divorce Cost in Marietta?

    In Marietta, the cost of a divorce can vary based on whether it's contested or uncontested, and whether you go to mediation or to court. Whether you hire an attorney also affects the cost of the proceedings. The court's filing fee is under $300, but that's not the only expense you can expect. You also need the proper forms, and may have to pay to have the other spouse served with papers. While you don't necessarily have to hire an attorney, it's recommended that you do so in order to protect your interests.

    What Should I Look for in a Family Law Attorney?

    When you're looking for a Marietta family law attorney, make sure you consider the attorney's education, as well as their experience. Ideally, you should choose an attorney who has experience in handling cases just like yours. If you have minor children, for example, your case will be different from someone who doesn't have kids. A high-asset divorce can be significantly different from one where you and your spouse don't own a lot of property. Finding an attorney who understands your specific case is important.

    How Do I Know What Type of Divorce I Need?

    At Stearns‑Montgomery & Proctor, we can help you determine what type of divorce will be right for you. Generally, if you and your spouse agree with one another on everything, and you sign a settlement agreement, you can get an uncontested divorce. This is the least expensive, and the least time-consuming option. For those who can't agree, though, an uncontested divorce will be necessary. This takes longer, and the court may make some decisions for you and your spouse to settle your case.
