Other Professionals Who May Be Involved in Your Divorce

When you are facing a divorce, the most common professional that you think to consult is, of course, a Georgia divorce attorney. However, depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, there may be issues in your case that require the advice and counsel of other professionals aside from your attorney.

For example, if your case involves a contested child custody or visitation issue, it is often helpful to your case to enlist the services of a professional who can evaluate the situation and make recommendations to the court about what is best for your children. This person might be a psychiatrist, a psychologist, a mental health counselor, or a custody evaluator, depending on the level of intervention that you and your attorney, as well as the judge, believes is necessary. The potential services that this type of professional can provide may include counseling for the spouses and/or their children, a custodial evaluation, psychological testing and evaluation, anger management, or parenting education and instruction.

Likewise, a professional can be useful in handling the financial aspects of your divorce. An accountant is often helpful in measuring the true income of a self-employed spouse, placing an accurate value on a retirement account or closely-held business, or working through income and business tax issues. Similarly, an appraiser can help value property such as real estate, antiques, and other items of personal property in order to facilitate the property division in a divorce.

A Georgia divorce lawyer can make all the difference in giving you the knowledge necessary to make informed decisions about your divorce. Enlisting the assistance of the appropriate professionals is a strategic decision that you should make with the help of an experienced divorce attorney.
