Marietta GA Divorce Attorneys

While marriage is an emotional bond that brings two people together for a lifetime, it is also a financial bond that joins their property, wealth, and assets. Spouses may also share something more precious than money—their children.

So when a married couple decides to divorce, painful decisions must be made about the best way to equitably divide their real estate, bank accounts, and possessions. And sadly, they must make provisions for child custody, support, and visitation.

Diffusing an Emotionally Charged Situation for Equitable Results

The Marietta collaborative lawyers at the law firm of Smith, Schnatmeier, Dettmering & Kilgo, LLP, are experienced at guiding their clients through the lengthy, complex divorce process and representing their interests in negotiations or the courtroom.

Each of our skilled collaborative attorneys in Marietta takes the time to build a rapport with clients and understand their concerns. We regularly meet with clients one-on-one to provide timely updates about the case.

Why Mediation is an Effective Way to Resolve Divorce Disputes

We call ourselves collaborative lawyers in Marietta because we employ innovative collaborative dispute resolution methods such as mediation. With collaborative divorce, parting couples agree upfront to resolve their differences outside the courtroom in a civil, respectful manner.

With mediation, a neutral, third-party mediator helps couples resolve contentious issues in the divorce, and a judge then finalizes the divorce. If either party backs out of the talks, both must get new lawyers and start over in court. 

Collaborative divorce methods like mediation are gaining in popularity because of their inherent benefits, including the following:

  • Mediation is often less costly and faster than a traditional court battle.
  • The process values compromise over conflict.
  • Both parties are heard on the issues that matter to them.
  • Financial experts and child psychologists can offer advice during the process.
  • The relationship is preserved so parting spouses can co-parent their children.
  • Through mediation, couples resolve the full gamut of divorce issues including division of assets and debts, child custody, and spousal and child support.

At Smith, Schnatmeier, Dettmering & Kilgo, LLP, our Marietta collaborative attorneys provide a caring, supportive legal environment that ensures a smooth transition for the couple, their children, and extended family.
