DeKalb County Superior Court handles divorce, custody, and support matters. Georgia requires 30 days residency before filing for divorce, with no mandatory separation period. Georgia follows equitable division of marital property. Clarkston's refugee families face unique family law challenges—marriages performed in Iraqi or Syrian camps with minimal documentation, polygamous marriages requiring dissolution under U.S. law, and custody disputes involving children left behind in conflict zones or refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey. Domestic violence resources are available through the IRC and local organizations, but Arabic-speaking family lawyers who understand refugee trauma are scarce.
Our Arabic-speaking custody attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Clarkston.
We assess your situation, the child's needs, and develop a custody strategy. This includes evaluating any international risks, domestic violence history, and each parent's involvement in the child's life.
We draft a proposed parenting plan covering physical custody schedule, decision-making authority, holidays, vacations, and communication. For Arab families, this often includes provisions for religious education and cultural practices.
Many courts require mediation before trial. We negotiate with the other parent's attorney to reach agreement. Mediation is often more productive for Arab families who want to minimize public conflict.
A court-appointed evaluator interviews both parents, the child, and sometimes teachers and other figures. They observe parent-child interactions and make recommendations to the judge. We prepare you thoroughly for this critical step.

Testimonials
Read what Arab American families in Clarkston say about our Arabic-speaking custody attorneys.
“My ex tried to get full custody and move with our son to another state. My attorney filed an emergency motion in DeKalb County and the judge blocked the move. I got joint custody with a fair parenting schedule. He understood our cultural values about fatherhood and argued my case in a way the judge respected.”

“My divorce involved a mahr dispute and custody of three children. Finding a lawyer who understood Islamic marriage contracts and Georgia family law made all the difference. She got my mahr enforced and I have primary custody. I could discuss sensitive family issues in Arabic without any awkwardness.”

“My ex-husband stopped paying child support for six months. My lawyer filed an enforcement motion in Fulton County and got a wage garnishment order within three weeks. She also got back pay for every missed month. She spoke Arabic and really understood how hard it is to raise kids alone.”

Georgia recognizes 13 grounds for divorce including no-fault. The irretrievably broken ground is the most commonly used.
Georgia is an equitable distribution state. Marital property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. Courts consider each spouse's contributions, the length of the marriage, economic circumstances, and any misconduct that led to the divorce.
Georgia courts may consider fault in property division — a spouse who committed adultery may receive a smaller share.
Best interests of the child
No
In Georgia, a child aged 14 or older has the right to elect which parent to live with, subject to the court's approval. Children aged 11-13 may express a preference that the court considers.
Georgia uses the income shares model based on both parents' combined adjusted gross incomes, with deviations allowed for specific circumstances such as high or low income, travel expenses, and extraordinary expenses.
Support continues to 20 if the child is still in high school. Georgia's child support guidelines were significantly updated in 2007.
