Last updated on April 8, 2021

Calling it “the exception, not the rule,” one writer on marital dissolution noted in a recent article that a family owned business surviving a divorce is a relative rarity.

Observations on the intersection of legal pot use and family law

Last updated on April 8, 2021

The passage of a law in Georgia approving marijuana use in some prescribed fashion for persons suffering from medical ailments would obviously cast ripples across a broad sphere of social and legal concerns, including family law.

Research, recommendations on gay parents in custody disputes

Last updated on April 8, 2021

The state of Georgia does not legally recognize either same-sex marriage or same-sex divorce. As we have previously noted, LGBT couples are certainly not well protected under state laws when it comes to family law matters.

Family violence: a constant peril for some in Georgia, nationally

Last updated on April 8, 2021

True love calls: Now what about those student loans?

Last updated on April 8, 2021

When love is in the air, young couples in Georgia and everywhere else across the country tend to follow its sweet song.

Viewpoint: a good divorce outcome requires a good divorce laywer

Last updated on April 8, 2021

Most of our readers in Georgia and elsewhere have likely heard the term “cookie cutter” as applied to some protocol or process, denoting it as a straightforward and standard technique that broadly — rather than individually — applies to some application. Divorce is not a process to which a cookie-cutter blueprint should apply. So says […]
