My reasons why Paternity tests are a must!!
"You are not the Father" or "You are the Father"! Have you ever thought that there's a possibility that the child you've been raising is not yours or you've questioned whether the child you're paying child support for is actually your child? In the State of Georgia, you're not required to take a Paternity test to legitimate your child and many Father's waive their right to a Paternity test when in child support Court. You should not Ever waive your right to a Paternity test. Unfortunately, I've represented Fathers who found out too late that they were not the biological Father. Stop being shammed into waiving your right to a Paternity Test. A Paternity test will give you peace of mind and certainty that the child is yours or Not yours. Watch the Video for some insight as to why you should always have a paternity test taken and the best time to take a paternity test. I also give some tips on avoiding the high cost of a paternity test if you're not able to afford one. Be sure to share the video and subscribe to our channel!

Five Mistakes that People Make In Child Custody Cases
Contested divorce in Georgia/Atlanta : What is the process to follow ?
Before thinking of divorce, both parties should take enough time to discuss their problems and probably find a solution that will satisfy the Husband and Wife and that is what we hope of course. In Georgia, there are several forms of divorce recognized by the Georgia Law. I am Terri S. Herron, Your local Family Law Attorney in Atlanta and surrounding areas in Georgia. I will explain the contested divorce process in a fairly detailed manner. What is the contested divorce? As with the majority of trials, the contested divorce is a lawsuit involving pleadings (complaint and response), discovery, motions, a temporary hearing, mediation, and potentially a trial. Trials are before the Judge and it is up to him to determine custody, child support, alimony and property division if you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement. However, either party may request that a jury make the decision on the alimony or division of the property. Unlike uncontested divorce, which takes as little as 31 days, a contested divorce has a process that is at least 6 months to several years. On average, the divorce project can take a year. Contested actions take a long time for all parties involved. Domestic actions are contested with a discovery phase, a temporary hearing, mediation (usually a day), all necessary communications in intense circumstances (many phone calls and e-mails) and an ultimate trial (usually a full day) to a week depending on the complexity of the case and the number of witnesses), can range from 40 to 100 hours in a lawyer's time, or more.
