Divorce Lawyer in Carrollton, Georgia

Experience in Family and Support Matters

If you are considering filing for divorce, or if you have already been served with a divorce complaint, you want an experienced attorney to protect your interests, one who knows the law, who will help you understand your options, and who will keep you informed, so that you can make good decisions. Divorce often involves difficult decisions on emotional issues, including child custody and visitation, child support, and alimony.

At the Law Office of Rita D. Carroll, I take a cooperative approach with all divorce clients, working to avoid the financial and emotional costs of litigation, especially when minor children are involved. I have over 20 years of experience handling child support matters and I know from experience that negotiated solutions are often in the best long-term interests of everyone involved. Contact my office to arrange a free, 30-minute consultation.

I work with men and women at all stages of a divorce, from the decision to file through post-judgment requests for modification of existing court orders. I advise clients on matters addressed in divorce pre-trial orders, including use and possession of the marital home, use and possession of a vehicle, and temporary orders for custody, visitation and support.

I handle all matters related to or arising out of a divorce, such as:

• Child custody and visitation: I will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children while protecting your rights as a parent. To learn more, see my child custody and support page.
• Child support: I will review any proposed child support arrangements to ensure that they are in compliance with state guidelines and that they take all relevant income into consideration, including seasonal employment, self-employment, or commission income.
• Spousal support or alimony: I will work with you to determine whether alimony is appropriate and, if so, the proper amount, frequency and duration of payments.
• The division of marital debts and assets: I will help you equitable divide the debts and assets of your marriage including real estate, investments, bank accounts, business assets, and retirement accounts. I am experienced in qualified domestic relations orders, used to divide retirement funds.
• Separation agreements: I will negotiate, review and draft legal separation agreements for you.

I can also assist you if you need a domestic partnership agreement or a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement.
