Child Custody
Child custody defines the relationship between both divorcing parents and their minor children. There are two major types of custody - physical custody and legal custody.
Asset Division
There are two key concepts for asset division: 1) defining what exactly is (and isn't) marital; and, 2) noting Georgia does not require an equal division of property.
Child Support
Child support is financial support that is paid from one parent to another to help pay for the various costs associated with raising the minor children.
Alimony
Alimony is an allowance out of one spouse's (or ex-spouse's) separate estate for the support of the other spouse when the spouses are living separately.
