Military pay isn’t structured like a civilian salary, and Georgia law treats it differently. 🎖️

When calculating child support, the court looks beyond base pay. Non-taxable allowances like BAH (Housing) and BAS (Subsistence), along with special duty pay, must be accurately entered into the state’s worksheet.

If these numbers are miscalculated, your support order could be unfairly high or dangerously low.

Life after divorce is easier when you stop trying to fix your ex and start focusing on your own strategy. You can’t force them to follow the rules or be reasonable, but you have 100% control over how you respond to the drama.

By staying professional and keeping your cool, you protect your peace of mind and build a solid record for the future.

Divorce rarely comes out of nowhere.

It usually follows patterns that build over time. Constant criticism, loss of respect, shutting down communication, and ongoing defensiveness are some of the most common signs that a relationship is breaking down.

Recognizing these patterns early can help you decide what comes next, whether that means trying to repair things or preparing for a legal transition.

Yes, it can lead to jail time.

In Georgia, failing to pay court-ordered child support may result in a contempt of court action. A judge may order you to pay the overdue amount and legal fees, or face jail time until you comply.

If payments fall behind, a warrant can also be issued. In more serious cases, non-payment can lead to criminal charges.

There can be additional consequences as well, including wage garnishment, tax refund interception, license suspension, and long-term collection of unpaid balances.

Child support is a court order. Don’t ignore it.

Courts look at several factors, including:
• Length of the marriage
• Income and financial gap between spouses
• Standard of living during the marriage
• Contributions to the household, including childcare and homemaking
• Age and health of each spouse
• Each person’s ability to earn

Fault can also play a role. For example, adultery, abuse, or desertion may affect whether a spouse is eligible to receive alimony.

Each case is decided based on the specific facts involved.

Georgia allows both no-fault and fault-based divorce.

A fault-based case requires proof. It’s not enough to make a claim. You need evidence that supports it.

Choosing to file on fault can affect how a case is handled, including potential impact on alimony.

Pride Month marks progress that didn’t come easily.

The right to marry and build a family is now recognized for many LGBTQ+ couples. When legal questions come up around divorce, custody, or support, those rights carry through.

We approach every case with that in mind.

Short answer: not automatically.

In Georgia, property you owned before the marriage is generally considered separate property. But it can become more complicated over time.

If marital money was used to pay the mortgage, make improvements, or maintain the property, your spouse may have a claim to a portion of its value.

The details matter. How the property was handled during the marriage often determines how it’s treated in a divorce.

If you’re unsure where you stand, it’s worth getting clarity before making any decisions.

The "Kind Partner" and the "Abuser" are the same person. The apologies aren't a sign of change—they are part of the cycle. ⚖️

If you’re living in fear or walking on eggshells, you aren't in a "tough spot"—you are in a dangerous one. You don’t have to wait for the next incident to protect yourself and your children.

A Temporary Protective Order (TPO) in Georgia is designed to give you immediate safety, temporary custody, and the space to breathe.

You’ve protected the relationship long enough. It’s time to protect yourself.
