Divorce and Family Law

The legal issues surrounding divorce are stressful. The dissolution of a marriage, child custody, and adoption can seem overwhelming. At McArthur, McArthur & Overend, we are dedicated to providing effective, informed legal representation to people dealing with family law matters in Athens, Georgia.

Complete Family Law Representation

Aside from the emotional aspects in family law matters, they are complex because they touch every aspect of a person's life including, children, finances, and friends. Our attorneys work closely with each client to educate and advise him or her about the laws related to his or her family law issue. We carefully explain what can reasonably be accomplished on the client's behalf.

We have remarkable experience guiding clients through a full range of family law matters:

• Divorce or legal separation
• Contested child custody disputes
• Parenting time or visitation
• Child support
• Complex property division
• Post-divorce modification
• Spousal support or alimony
• Adoptions, private placement, step-parent and agency adoptions
• Guardianships
• Paternity/Legitimation proceedings
• Pre-nuptial agreements

Our clients receive effective, professional legal advice and representation from our attorneys and paralegals. We endeavor to help clients dealing with divorce resolve disagreements through alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. However, when necessary, we will aggressively represent our clients' interests in court.
