  • High net worth divorce — Individuals with significant assets, inheritances, trust funds, and/or business interests understand the financial stakes involved in ending a marriage. They retain the legal team at Stern Edlin Graham Family Law, P.C. because of the attorneys' skills in litigation, negotiation and navigating through the complexities of high net worth divorce litigation.
  • Child custody and visitation — In complex custody matters, clients need an attorney to do more than develop standard custody and visitation schedules.

  • Child support — In representing either parent, the attorneys at Stern Edlin Graham Family Law, P.C. are accomplished in navigating through and establishing strategies for the Georgia Child Support Guidelines and Worksheets. Challenges for our clients exist with the Georgia Child Support Guidelines, in that the calculation tables do not account for those that earn more than $30,000.00 gross per month in combined income. These types of cases require a higher level of legal analysis and strategy.
  • Alimony — In representing either spouse, spousal support matters mandate aggressive legal representation from attorneys focused on the needs of their clientele and the lifestyles they enjoy, and the attorneys at Stern Edlin Graham Family Law, P.C. are successful in representing either spouse in pursuit of or in the defense of alimony claims.
