Attorney/Client Relationship
Most people avoid being sued or suing anyone their entire life, but now you need an attorney. You don’t need just any attorney. You need an experienced divorce attorney. A divorce can affect your future for many years. An attorney with experience can help you anticipate and minimize problems. You should hire an attorney whose experience matches the complexity of your case. Where do you start?
Your attorney will never know as much about your case as you do. Just because you are not a lawyer, doesn’t mean that you can’t provide valuable assistance throughout your divorce. Although your attorney can obtain information through legal means, there are ways that you can help and save them time, and that equates to saving money.
There are many important players in your divorce. One who can greatly expedite or delay the process is your spouse’s attorney. They can be the best thing that could ever happen to your case or the worst. Sooner or later, you will hear from your spouse that they no longer chose to discuss the divorce with you, and "their attorney will contact your attorney." The cost of your divorce has just gone up. As you have learned from interviewing prospective attorneys, there are many different styles of "lawyering".

Attorney/Client Relationship
In a Georgia divorce, the mother is not automatically given custody of the children. The judge considers the best interests of the child. The court considers the age and gender of the child, the child's relationship with each parent, and the ability of each parent to take care of the child. Sometimes, the court will allow a child over 14 years old to choose who he or she will live with. Visitation rights are usually given to the parent who does not get legal custody.
