Kyra Lin Abernathy, Attorney At Law

No one should be harassed or abused. Ever. Thankfully, the state of Georgia had a process for you to escape the nightmare of abuse. Georgia has something called a Temporary Protective Order or TPO. There are TPOs for harm being done or being in fear of harm done as well as a TPO to protect from stalking.

I want to partner with our clients, not just be a nameless face that never talks to them. I pick up the phone when they call. Explain and talk them through the details. I am there through the good, bad, and the ugly. I do not want to be one of those lawyers you can never talk to or get on the phone when you need them.

Meeting with an attorney before starting anything with the divorce process. Most attorneys charge a small consultation fee for this service but it is an investment that greatly pays off in the end. Both you and your spouse will need to meet separately with two separate attorneys as once one attorney talks to you, they are now barred from speaking with your spouse, to keep client confidentiality.

When a parent can't take care of a child, whether due to a terminal illness or lack of resources necessary to raise a child, sometimes the only way to make sure that child is taken care of in a stable family environment is to allow the child to be adopted by another family.

I was actually adopted myself, and I am to this day extremely grateful to both my biological mother for making a very tough decision given her circumstances in life at the time to allow me to go to another family and to my adoptive family who made the huge choice to take me in and raise me as their child.If you are thinking about adopting a child locally or within another state in the US, our office would be glad to help.

Just because you had one job when you were divorced doesn't mean you're going to keep that job forever. Life happens. You move up, you change gears, and sometimes you are unfortunately forced to step down. Your original divorce papers don't move with you, however. Whatever amount the papers tell you to pay for child support still apply even if your income has drastically changed.
