Domestic Violence for Arab families in Clarkston
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.
The domestic violence process with an Arab lawyer
Our Arabic-speaking domestic violence attorneys guide you through every step of your case in Clarkston.
Safety Assessment & Planning
We assess your immediate safety and develop a plan. This includes identifying safe housing, securing important documents, and protecting your immigration status. Everything is confidential.
Emergency Protective Order
We file for an emergency protective order that can be granted the same day without the abuser being present (ex parte). This provides immediate legal protection while longer-term solutions are put in place.
Court Hearing for Permanent Order
Within 2-3 weeks, a hearing is held where you present evidence and the abuser can respond. We prepare you thoroughly and present a compelling case for permanent protection.
Immigration Protection (VAWA/U-Visa)
If your immigration status is connected to the abuser, we file VAWA self-petitions or U-visa applications to secure independent immigration status. The abuser is not notified.

Testimonials
Arabic domestic violence lawyer reviews in Clarkston
Read what Arab American families in Clarkston say about our Arabic-speaking domestic violence 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 family law overview

Property Division
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.
Child Custody
Best interests of the child
No
- •Love, affection, bonding, and emotional ties between each parent and the child
- •Each parent's capacity to give the child love, affection, guidance, and education
- •Each parent's knowledge of the child's needs
- +7 more factors considered
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.
Child Support
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.
