Our Comprehensive Family Law, Divorce, and Estate Planning Services

At Shakhan & Wilkerson Law, we provide a full spectrum of legal services designed to protect families, safeguard financial interests, and bring clarity to complex legal matters. Every case is handled with precision, compassion, and a strategy tailored to your unique situation.

Divorce Representation

Divorce is never easy, but with strong legal guidance, you can move forward with clarity and confidence. Our divorce attorneys in Atlanta handle both contested and uncontested matters, guiding clients through every stage of the process. We provide skilled advocacy in property division, negotiating or litigating spousal support (alimony), and representing clients in high-asset divorce cases where businesses, investments, and retirement accounts are at stake. We also offer support in military divorce and provide respectful, equitable representation in LGBTQ divorce. For families who prefer collaborative solutions, we also offer divorce mediation services, helping couples reach agreements outside of court.

Child Custody & Parenting Plans

Protecting the best interests of children is at the heart of every custody case. As experienced child custody lawyers in Atlanta, we help parents establish, modify, and enforce custody arrangements that support stability and minimize conflict. We work closely with clients to create detailed parenting plans that set clear expectations for visitation, decision-making, and daily care. In complex or high-conflict custody disputes, our attorneys are prepared to litigate aggressively while always focusing on the child’s well-being.

Child Support

Financial security for children is essential, and our team is skilled at navigating Georgia’s Income Shares Model to achieve fair outcomes. Our child support attorneys assist in calculating new support obligations, modifying existing orders when circumstances change, and enforcing payments when one party fails to comply. We make sure child-related expenses are addressed comprehensively, including education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.

Child Support Modifications

Life circumstances evolve, and support orders must often evolve with them. Our attorneys handle child support modifications when income levels change, custody schedules are updated, or new child-related expenses arise. Whether you are seeking to increase or decrease an existing obligation, we help you present the necessary financial documentation and pursue adjustments that reflect your current reality.

Legitimation & Fathers’ Rights

In Georgia, fathers of children born outside of marriage must take legal steps to secure parental rights. Through legitimation actions, we help fathers establish custody, visitation, and decision-making authority, ensuring they can build and protect their bond with their children. As dedicated fathers’ rights attorneys in Atlanta, we fight for fair treatment in the courts and ensure that fathers are recognized as vital participants in their children’s lives.

Grandparents’ Rights

Grandparents play a crucial role in many children’s lives, and sometimes legal intervention is necessary to preserve that relationship. Our grandparents’ rights lawyers advocate for custody or visitation rights when family circumstances require it, always with the child’s best interests at the forefront. We understand the emotional weight of these cases and work tirelessly to protect family bonds.

Spousal Support (Alimony)

When marriages end, financial stability is often one of the most pressing concerns. Our spousal support attorneys represent clients in negotiating or litigating alimony arrangements that are fair and sustainable. Whether you are seeking support or defending against excessive claims, we advocate for outcomes that protect your financial future while respecting your contributions to the marriage.

Litigation Support – Discovery & Motions

Strong legal cases are built on preparation and detail. At Shakhan & Wilkerson Law, we provide comprehensive discovery services to gather the financial, custodial, and evidentiary records needed to present your case effectively. We also draft persuasive pleadings and motions that set the stage for success in court, ensuring your arguments are presented with clarity and force.

Estate Planning & Probate

Looking ahead is just as important as addressing today’s challenges. Our firm offers complete estate planning services, including wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney, so that your legacy is protected and your loved ones are secure. We also represent families in probate matters, guiding them through the administration of estates and handling disputes when necessary. As trusted estate planning attorneys in Atlanta, we help clients achieve peace of mind and safeguard their future generations.
