Where to Start: Crash Course Divorce

Every Tuesday Morning (9:30 to 11 a.m.)

Tell a friend who is contemplating or facing divorce! Information is a good friend in this kind of transition that impacts your family, finances, identity, and future. And, this is where to start!

Crash Course Divorce is a 90-Minute tutorial on the divorce process in Georgia, including the legal requirements to obtain a divorce and ways to navigate the process with as little time “in court” as possible. A 30 Minute Session on children’s issues follows this segment for an additional fee. Topics include:

  • An Overview of the Legal Process (and what the court expects to receive for uncontested divorces)
  • How Divorce Mediation Works (and is frequently ordered by Georgia courts)
  • Why “Settlements” are so common
  • How to use attorneys effectively (and save money)
  • How to get prepared for divorce mediation or litigation
  • Resources for you and for children (that you didn’t know existed)

Please also view our free (and short) videos. Registration for Crash Course Divorce includes a copy of “Strategic Preparation for Divorce Mediation Success,” an informative booklet. Offered every Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. at our Atlanta location (1827 Powers Ferry Road, Building 23, Atlanta 30339).
