The attorneys at Kitchens New Cleghorn, LLC offer caring, sensitive legal representation and have experience handling all aspects of divorce and divorce-related legal issues. With our experienced divorce lawyers located right in the heart of Buckhead, Atlanta, you can feel confident you will be well-represented in cases involving:

Contested Divorce: A contested divorce refers to a split in which neither spouse can agree on all details of the end of the marriage. Such details include alimony, child custody, division of marital property, and more. Sometimes contested divorces go to trial, and often they can be settled out of court through negotiation. Our Atlanta divorce lawyers will help you weigh your options and make ending your marriage as stress-free as possible.

Child Custody: Determining where your children will live following the end of a marriage is among the most sensitive and potentially contentious issues that arise. Our family law attorneys recognize the importance of maintaining your family ties, and know there is likely nothing more important to you than your children. We will work hard to ensure you are well-represented throughout your divorce to get the child custody agreement that you deserve.

LawyerChild Support: The end of a marriage doesn'™t signal the end of financial responsibilities to your children. Don'™t miss out on the financial support you and your child are entitled to. Working with our attorneys, you can navigate the court system and maximize the financial support you and your child receive following your divorce.

Alimony: Divorce can spell financial disaster when one spouse has become financially dependent upon the other. Courts have typically used alimony to resolve this type of crisis,“ but in some cases, it has become harder to get. Our divorce attorneys in Atlanta have successfully negotiated alimony for countless clients and will work hard to get the financial backing you require.

Property Division: Contrary to popular belief, there are no set rules when it comes to splitting marital assets. Homes, cars, property and more can be divided however a judge sees fit during your divorce. Make sure the court has all the facts before a decision is made. Representation by our divorce lawyers will guarantee that the court has accurate, thorough and up-to-date information to make a decision that protects your property.

Uncontested Divorce: When two spouses are able to reach an agreement on alimony, child custody, property division and every other detail concerning the end of their marriage, an uncontested divorce is suitable. Typically an uncontested divorce is faster and less expensive than a contested divorce, but these proceedings still require the guidance of a divorce attorney. Our lawyers will counsel you on whether an uncontested divorce is your best option, and help you file your paperwork and get your uncontested divorce ratified.

Prenuptial Agreements: A prenuptial agreement can be a difficult topic to broach, but it ultimately protects your assets as well as those of your partner. Making a pre-marriage agreement can ensure that your assets are secure in the event of the unexpected. Contact our Atlanta family law attorneys to discuss options for added security as you begin a new marriage.
