Atlanta area law firm offers professional assistance in men's divorce or family law matters. We can assist you with obtaining custody of children or minimizing the child support following a divorce. We will seek to get you the time with your children you want.
We provide affordable, client-focused representation and consultations in the following areas:
DIVORCE - CONTESTED divorces can drag on and cost a fortune. We focus on resolving your case in your favor through negotiations. However, we will fight for you if necessary. We work to keep costs down and delay to a minimum.
DIVORCE - UNCONTESTED divorces at very reasonable rates where your spouse will consent and there are no assets to distribute or disputes over children. Even if your matter is more complicated, you may still be able to keep your divorce uncontested and stay out of court, saving you time and money.
CUSTODY / VISITATION - The toughest aspect of ending a relationship can be custody and visitation. We focus on helping you find real-life, workable solutions.
CHILD AND SPOUSAL SUPPORT - We will work to avoid or minimize alimony and child support. We also handle cases in which our clients need to reduce the amount of child support paid.
MISCELLANEOUS – We handle other matters such as temporary protective orders, relocation, etc.
AGREEMENTS - We will draft a prenuptial, separation or other agreement that lets you begin your marriage or move on with peace of mind. You can control your own future, rather than let a judge decide it for you. We may also be able to help you protect your premarital assets without having to inform your potential spouse or obtain her signature.
CONSULTATIONS - In addition to full representation, we offer consultations. Have your agreement reviewed, learn what you may expect to be relevant in a divorce, prepare for a court date, learn what to do and what your rights are.

RESULTS: A note from "Jim" - a recent client from a case involving a supposed child-support debt:
I'm impressed by and appreciate how competently you are representing me. If the outcome is not in my favor it won't be from lack of talented counsel...Thanks much and enjoy your weekend.
Jim
Jim won his case - the Judge ruled that he actually owed no back child support to his ex-wife, and that she may actually owe Jim money.

Testimonial From Mr. John M.: "The Eaton Law Firm and Charles Eaton were able to help me greatly. I was unrepresented during my divorce in 2003. I agreed to almost everything that my former wife’s attorney suggested including supervised visitation, no legal or physical custody and rather large child support arrangements. After 19 visits (mostly supervised) with my son in California and Colorado (she moved), my former wife was unwilling to change much of our agreement. Charles helped in a calm collected way for an affordable fee. Thanks to Charles, this past Christmas, my son visited me here in Georgia for the first time. He stayed at my house for a week! He will return in March for another week and he will spend two weeks with me this summer. In addition, Charles was able to have child support reduced and now it includes an allowance for my travel expenses. Last but not least, I now have joint legal custody of my son. Charles was easily accessible and has a wonderful paralegal (Raquel) to help when he is not available. My son and I thank you both!"

Testimonial by Mr. B.C.:
"For my divorce, I tried to do everything myself and, after the courts rejected a portion of my paperwork. It was apparent to me that I needed help and lots of it. I found The Eaton Law Firm's advertisement on Craigslist and gave them a call since the rates were inexpensive...It was the best decision I could have made...I believe I got a lifetime of relief. Mr. Eaton informed me of everything I was missing and why some of the wording in my previously submitted documents would be rejected. After working out the payment details, they got right to work and provided documents that were accepted without a hitch by the Court.
Thank you, Charles, for helping put an end to a rather sad chapter in my life."
