‘Into everyone’s life a little rain must fall’ according to the sages in this world. And if anyone ever finds themselves in trouble with a marriage partner, particularly in Georgia, then the services of an Atlanta divorce lawyer is absolutely essential. The Atlanta divorce attorney will be able to assess the situation and will guide his client through the process as easily as possible.
Many couples will not realize that there is more to ending a relationship than just dividing the cd collection. There are many other big decisions to be made. Children, obviously, must always be catered for initially. Their comfort, security and well being is paramount and will be at the top of any ‘to do’ list. Things like visitation arrangements, school fees and any other arrangements in making the transition to a one parent family is what is important.
Of course, many couples cannot come to terms on who will be the sole custodian of the children. Often times they will not agree on visiting days and times etc. This is where the professionals are absolutely necessary to discuss these emotive issues probably before the court is involved. However, if no agreement can be made then the professionals will help to ascertain just who is the best parent to take over the custody of the children. The court will also decide on suitable sleepover visits, or whether the non custodial partner is suitable to visit etc.
In some cases, violence has played a part in the relationship. In this case, supervised visitation is a possibility until the parent can prove that he or she has sought counseling, and then they can go back to court to get the supervision order lifted.
Sometimes one partner will not want the children, either for personal reasons, or because they just wouldn’t be able to cope and think that the spouse would be the best person to take care of the children. This is good as long as the children are made aware of the reasons for their apparent ‘abandonment’. However, in a lot of cases, parents use the children as a reason to make the other suffer and get what they want out of the separation. Lies will be told, evidence will be concocted, indeed, anything that will give the stronger parent the edge, whether good or bad, will come to the fore and this is now when professionals are needed to intervene between the warring factions.
The court is not there to be counselors and they don’t like to interfere between either of the parties but they will find a way out of the contract. They will decide on who gets what, who pays what etc and the domicile for the children. If the two are still acrimonious to each other and that the judge feels that the children cannot be with either party, then he will put them into care until both have been investigated and will be counseled and monitored until the best one is chosen.
This can be a very stressful time for all the family and extra care should be taken where there are children. But remember, without rain there would be no rainbows!
