Clients sometimes assume a defense attorney can simply call the judge or prosecutor and get an immediate answer. But the process does not work that way.

Defense attorneys cannot have private, one-sided communication with the court about a case. Any communication with the judge must include the prosecutor as well.

When it comes to prosecutors, attorneys can follow up, send emails, leave messages, and request calls, but getting a response can still take time.

At TDE Criminal Law, we keep our clients informed about the steps we are taking behind the scenes and continue advocating for progress in their case.

Your dream does not have to be someone else’s dream.

If entrepreneurship is the path you want to take, your motivation cannot depend on whether your partner wants to build the same thing with you. Support matters, but so does having the drive to keep moving toward your own goals.

Sometimes you have to believe in the vision enough to carry it forward yourself.

What if you could work through your divorce in one day?

TDE Family Law offers a Divorce in a Day option for couples who agree they want a divorce and have already worked through most of the major decisions, but still need legal guidance to finalize the details.

Couples meet together with an attorney, virtually or in person, to address issues such as parenting plans, child support, property division, and the settlement agreement.

The documents are prepared, signed, and filed the same day.

Divorce in a Day is offered at a flat fee of $4,500 and may be a good option for couples who want a more efficient path forward without spending unnecessary time and energy on conflict.

Contact TDE Family Law to learn whether Divorce in a Day may be right for you.

Is your current parenting plan no longer working?

In Georgia, you may be able to request a modification of custody or make changes to specific details of the parenting plan. But the key question is whether the change is in the best interest of the child.

Conflict between parents, disagreements with a new partner, or frustration with the current arrangement may not be enough on their own to change custody.

Sometimes smaller adjustments, such as changing pickup locations or other parenting plan details, may be more appropriate without changing custody itself.

If your current parenting plan needs to be revisited, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options.

What happens to a business during a divorce in Georgia?

The answer depends on the type of business and the circumstances surrounding it. In some cases, the business itself may not be divided directly, but that does not necessarily mean the other spouse walks away with nothing.

There may be other ways to account for the value or equity built during the marriage, including alimony or a lump sum payment.

Every situation is different, especially when a business is involved.

If you are going through a divorce and have questions about business ownership or division, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options.

What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody?

Legal custody refers to who has the authority to make important decisions for the child, including decisions about education, medical care, and extracurricular activities.

Physical custody refers to where the child lives and who has the child in their care at a given time.

Understanding the difference matters because each type of custody affects your rights and responsibilities as a parent.

If you have questions about custody in Georgia, TDE Family Law can help you understand what applies to your situation.

Who gets the house during a divorce in Georgia? It depends on the circumstances.

The court may consider when the home was purchased, how it was used during the marriage, what changes or investments were made to the property, and how closely the home is tied to each person’s life or business.

Owning the house before the marriage can be an important factor, but every case is different.

If your home is one of the biggest questions in your divorce, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options.

How long does a divorce take in Georgia? It depends.

An uncontested divorce can sometimes be finalized relatively quickly when both parties agree on all the terms. A contested divorce, however, can take much longer depending on issues like evidence, discovery, property, custody, and how willing both sides are to reach a resolution.

Sometimes the biggest factor is not the complexity of the case. It is the level of conflict between the parties.

If you are considering divorce in Georgia, TDE Family Law can help you understand what to expect and guide you through the process.
