Our Family Law Services
Divorce & Separation
Ending a marriage is never simple, but Georgia law provides clear procedures for both contested and uncontested divorces. Rhodes Walls Law Office assists clients with property division, alimony, and separation agreements, ensuring that all issues are addressed thoroughly. Whether your case requires negotiation or litigation in Henry County Superior Court, we guide you through every step.
Child Custody
Custody decisions are centered on the best interests of the child. We help parents understand legal and physical custody, draft parenting plans, and present strong cases in court when disputes arise. From negotiating cooperative arrangements to resolving contested hearings, our firm ensures that children remain at the heart of every decision.
Child Support
Georgia law requires parents to share financial responsibility for their children. Our team assists with establishing, modifying, and enforcing child support orders. We provide guidance on calculating support using Georgia’s guidelines and ensure that the financial needs of children are met fairly.
Modifications of Custody and Support
Life changes, and so do family circumstances. When custody schedules or support orders no longer reflect reality, modifications may be necessary. Rhodes Walls Law Office represents clients seeking adjustments due to relocation, income changes, or evolving needs of the child. We also defend parents responding to modification petitions.
Enforcement & Contempt
Court orders must be followed. When a parent fails to pay support or violates custody arrangements, we help enforce compliance through contempt actions. These cases may involve fines, wage garnishment, or other remedies ordered by the court to ensure that parenting time and financial support obligations are honored.
Paternity, Legitimation, and Father’s Rights
In Georgia, establishing paternity and legitimation are critical steps for unmarried fathers who want legal rights to custody and visitation. We guide fathers through the process of filing petitions, presenting evidence, and securing meaningful parenting time. Our goal is to protect father-child relationships while ensuring the child’s best interests remain a priority.
Protective Orders and Family Violence Cases
When safety is at risk, immediate legal action is essential. Rhodes Walls Law Office assists clients in obtaining Temporary Protective Orders (TPOs) in cases of family violence. These orders help protect individuals and children from harm and establish enforceable restrictions on abusers.
Adoption
Adoption brings families together in lasting ways. Our firm handles stepparent, relative, and private adoptions in Georgia. We guide families through the required paperwork, hearings, and legal approvals, ensuring that every adoption meets state requirements and provides a secure foundation for the child’s future.
Relocation Cases
When one parent needs to move for work, education, or family reasons, custody and visitation arrangements may require modification. Our firm helps parents present relocation requests or oppose moves that disrupt existing parenting schedules, always with the child’s well-being in focus.
