Ensuring Moms Are Financially Able To Continue Parenting

Georgia law requires divorces to divide marital assets and debts equitably – not always equally, but fairly. The sudden shift from a two-income household to managing expenses alone can be overwhelming, especially for single moms who have stepped back from careers to raise children.

At Marsh & Frost, we guide mothers through divorce’s financial maze in Marietta and the Atlanta metro area. Our detail-oriented approach helps ensure nothing is overlooked, while our “cordial aggression” philosophy secures fair outcomes without unnecessary conflict.

Understanding Your Financial Rights In Divorce

As a mother facing divorce, you have important financial protections under Georgia law. The state follows “equitable distribution” for dividing marital assets, considering factors such as marriage length and contributions to the family.

Protecting assets begins with identifying all marital property – homes, accounts, retirement funds and business interests. Our knowledgeable divorce attorney for mothers helps uncover hidden assets and ensures debts are fairly distributed, preventing unfair financial burdens that could impact your ability to parent effectively.

Securing Support For Your Family

Child support provides crucial financial resources for custodial mothers. Georgia uses specific guidelines based on both parents’ incomes, custody arrangements, and expenses such as health care and childcare.

For mothers who sacrificed career advancement, alimony rights for women provide important protection. Courts consider marriage duration, standard of living and future earning capacity when determining support. Modifying child support agreements is possible when significant changes occur, helping ensure continued financial stability as circumstances evolve.

Custody Affects Your Financial Security

Custody arrangements directly impact finances. Primary caregivers often face higher child care costs but may receive more support. We advocate for fair post-divorce parenting plans that:

• Minimize disruptions to your children’s routines
• Ensure consistent financial contributions from both parents
• Address future expenses (extracurricular activities, college, etc.)

We aim for settlements that prioritize financial stability for you and your children.
