Reliable Georgia attorney advocates for the best interests of children

To ensure a secure future for your children after a divorce, the attorney at Scott M. Ledford LLC provides caring legal counsel and advocacy. We can help you with matters including:

• Child support — Our attorney will seek an arrangement in which you receive or pay an equitable amount of the financial support required to raise your child in a happy and healthy environment.
• Child custody and visitation — We advocate for parenting time to be divided in a way that grants a child stability and safety and preserves your parental bond. We assert our clients’ rights to make decisions about how their children are raised.
• Adoption — Adopting a child is a joyful occasion. When something goes wrong, there is a chance of substantial heartache. Our attorney handles the legalities of adoption so you can concentrate on preparing for your child’s homecoming.
• Juvenile delinquency — If your child gets in trouble with the law, their future and your parenting rights may come under threat. When authorities interfere with your rights, a compassionate advocate can help you navigate the bureaucratic red tape.

In all of these matters, we will be with you at each step to protect your children’s welfare and your rights as a parent.

Dedicated counselor handles divorce, alimony and property division matters

Our attorney helps clients to end their marriage with as little stress as possible, but when the situation demands litigation, we won’t hesitate to press your rights in court. Whether your breakup is contested or amicable, we provide comprehensive support for:

• Divorce — We guide you through the divorce process so that your rights are protected and you can move forward with confidence.
• Spousal support — So that divorce doesn’t unnecessarily disadvantage one party, we help you seek the best possible settlement or judgment for spousal support payments, whether you must pay alimony or will receive it.
• Property division — We will advocate for a fair allocation of your marital estate and debt, ensuring the court has a full financial accounting.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements — We draft and review comprehensive prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that protect your interests and can alleviate some of the stress and uncertainty should you ever divorce.

Mediation may be useful in helping you and your partner to achieve amicable agreements about issues involving your children, property and finances. If mediation proves unproductive, however, our attorney is a skilled litigator who will advocate for your best interests in court.
