These cases involve the valuation of assets:

Subsequent Marriages / Premarital or Separate Assets

Spouses often carry significant assets into a marriage via:

a second or subsequent marriage
inherited assets
profession / business prior to marriage

We help untangle these assets, placing an accurate value upon them. You require an attorney experienced in handling the disposition of premarital or separate assets.

Child Custody and Child Support

Often the hardest aspect of a divorce, you need an attorney who can work out these issues through negotiation.

If negotiation is unsuccessful, we will try your case before the Court.

We have successfully tried hundreds of child support and child custody cases, on behalf of both mothers and fathers.

Contested Divorce

When major disputes over property or parenting arise, a contested case may be necessary. We bring deep experience and pursue the best results for you.

We handle:

Asset and debt division
Custody and parenting time
Alimony/spousal support

Uncontested Divorce

If both sides agree on property, custody, and support, an uncontested route is quicker and calmer.

Lower cost
Less conflict
Maintain control of the outcome

We work with you to protect your rights.

Attorney's Fees

Georgia law provides that a spouse may request and receive attorney’s fees from the other party, as part of the divorce proceedings. It is important to note that this does not mean that our firm will accept cases without payment of an initial retainer. However, we are well aware that there is often an enormous difference in the relative assets and income of the parties, especially in high asset divorce cases. Carlton Folsom is experienced in requesting and obtaining Court Orders for attorney fees to paid by the other party, in order to level the playing field during a divorce.

Additionally, Georgia law provides that the Court may order the other party to pay some of your attorney’s fees from the other party, in custody and child support matters. That does not mean that the Courts award attorney’s fees in all such cases, or that you are likely to recover 100% of your fees in your case – every case is different. You need an attorney that gives you the best possibility of recovering some – if not most - of your attorney’s fees in your custody or child support case. Carlton Folsom has recovered attorney’s fees for many clients, in child custody and child support modification cases.
