Attorney in Carrollton, Georgia
An Overview of My Practice
At the Law Office of Rita D. Carroll, I represent men and women throughout the West Georgia area. I understand that bankruptcy and issues related to one's family and children are highly emotional and provide compassionate, yet assertive, counsel to help you get what you need. Contact my office to arrange a free, 30-minute consultation.
Consumer Bankruptcy
I handle all matters related to consumer bankruptcy, including filings under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. I will work with you to determine whether you qualify for the discharge of debts under a Chapter 7 liquidation proceeding or whether you can proceed with a plan for the repayment of creditors over a three to five year period under Chapter 13. I will help you identify the debts that can be discharged and protect those assets that may be exempt from sale in a bankruptcy proceeding. For more information, see my consumer bankruptcy page.
Divorce
I work closely with men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the initial filing and determinations of temporary custody, visitation and support to post-judgment requests for modification of existing divorce decrees. I handle all matters related to or arising out of a divorce, including child custody and visitation, child support, alimony or spousal support, and the division of marital property. See my divorce page for additional information.
Guardian ad Litem Representation
I serve as a guardian ad litem, helping other attorneys and individuals who need a third party to make a determination regarding the best interests of minor children. Visit my guardian ad litem page to learn more.
Child Custody and Support
I advise individuals involved in controversies over child custody and child support. I help parties establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of minor children while protecting their rights as parents. I also review child support proposals to ensure that they comply with state guidelines and take all relevant income into consideration. To learn more, see my child custody and support page.

I also handle:
- Domestic violence matters, including restraining orders (I will represent either the petitioner or the respondent)
- Paternity actions
- Adoptions, including stepparent, third-party and grandparent adoptions
- Conservatorships
