Modification of Custody and Child Support

Call (770) 720-4353 for more information!

Even if the Court has previously ruled on child custody and/or child support issues, the circumstances of the parties often change. One or both parties may be making substantially more than they did when the Court set child support. One of the parties may have moved – or wants to move – with the child. A parent may have a new “significant other” who should not be around the child. A parent may succumb to substance abuse. If your circumstances have change, then you may need to modify the Court Order.

It is important to note that if one parent wishes to move with the child, your timeline for action is short. You should consult an experienced Attorney as soon as possible, in order to protect your legal rights as a parent.

If you are trying to be a parent when the other parent has significant substance abuse or emotional issues, you know how painful this situation can be for your child and for you as a parent. You need to modify the Custody Order, in order to protect the best interests of your child. Successful representation in a child custody case requires the knowledge and experience that you and your child need and deserve. When you hire us, we offer that knowledge and experience to you.

In Child Support cases, it is very common that one party underreports their income, especially if they own a closely-held business. Also, earnings often fluctuate, based upon bonuses, commissions, etc. You need an attorney who can ascertain and set the actual income of a parent, when setting or modifying child support.

Our office has the expertise to get you the results you need, in your child support or child custody action. If we cannot settle your case through aggressive representation and negotiation outside of the Courtroom – WE WILL TRY YOUR CASE.

It’s BUI Season at Lake Lanier

01 Jun, 2016

It’s summertime, and that means it’s time for boating on Lake Lanier and other area lakes. That also means that it’s high season for BUI arrests. What’s a BUI? Basically, Georgia law regarding boating under the influence of alcohol or drugs mirrors the law on driving a vehicle while intoxicated. This is no longer a minor offense – you will be arrested and charges will be filed against you. If a child is on the boat the time of the arrest, you can be charged under child endangerment provisions of the law. If you have any marijuana or drugs on the boat at the time of the arrest, you will also be charged for possession and possibly other related offenses. Don’t let your friend who’s been drinking drive your boat – you can be charged for that, too. The provisions for those under 21 are even more severe. If you are under 21 years old, don’t even think about having a drink and driving a boat. If you’re reading this because you’ve already had the unfortunate experience of being arrested for BUI, you need an attorney who is familiar with DUI and BUI. The penalties for BUI can include jail time, a substantial fine, probation, lots of community service, and loss of your privilege to operate a boat. If a child was on the boat, or if there were any drugs on the boat, the penalties may be much more severe. Our firm has a demonstrated record of success in DUIs and BUIs, including acquittals in jury trials. Call us at 770-720-4353 today to schedule an appointment.
