 Divorce is the termination of marriage and requires a judicial determination of the parties’ respective rights and responsibilities.  In Georgia, all issues involved in the dissolution of a marriage must be included in the Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce.  Some of these  include the division of marital property,  a determination regarding child custody and parenting time, child support, spousal support, and attorney’s fees awards, if any. Divorce is not only one of the most difficult life events to experience, it also involves specific legal decisions which may affect taxes, immigration status, retirement income, credit scores, relocation and even reputation.  It is important that before an attempt is made to enter into a resolution of the issues in your case, you fully inform yourself of your rights and legal entitlements. You may schedule a consultation with this firm at any time to discuss the obligations and protections you are afforded by the law.   

 In addition to divorce, family law covers related matters including legal separation, child custody, child support, modification of child custody and child support,  enforcement of existing domestic orders, family violence protection, and legitimation and paternity actions. 

 Sustaining an on-the-job injury is a traumatic event and often can lead to a significant disruption in one’s life, both personally and financially. Workers’ compensation insurance carriers, by law, are required to provide certain benefits to injured workers. However, at times, these benefits are difficult to obtain. If you choose not to be represented by an attorney, or delay representation, you can experience delay or denial of your medical treatment and benefits. It is important to have representation by an experienced and qualified workers’ compensation attorney.

Some Courts require parties to mediate their cases before they can be heard by a Judge.   Many people voluntarily agree to mediate their differences in an effort to reach am amicable resolution.  Mediation is a procedure in which the parties discuss their disputes with the assistance of a trained impartial third person, aka a Mediator or Neutral, who assists them in reaching a settlement.   Often parties are not that far apart and with the help of a mediator are able to settle matters partially or in full.  In the event the parties are unable to reach an agreement, the parties then move on to being placed on a court calendar to be heard by a Judge.   At Ellie Hoyle Law LLC, we believe that it is always in the best interest of the client to resolve marital and family law issues through mediation.  Absent a full agreement by both parties, negotiating in good faith, the future of your family is in the hands of a judge or jury which will make decisions for you and your family.  Mediation is an extremely effective process to avoid painful, lengthy, and many times expensive court battles.
