Family Law Attorneys in the Atlanta Metro Area
Aggressive Representation in Contempt and Modification Proceedings
If your divorce has been finalized and you are subject to court orders governing child custody and visitation, child support or alimony/spousal support, you may still need legal counsel to protect your rights. If your circumstances have changed dramatically, the original orders may no longer be in the best interest of you or your children. On the other hand, either you or your spouse may not be in compliance with the court's order. In either situation, you want a strong voice to protect your interests.
At the law offices of Miller & Brown PC, we aggressively protect the rights of men and women in family law matters, including contempt and modification proceedings. Because we understand the importance of receiving a prompt response to your questions and concerns, we assign two lawyers to every case. There will always be more than one attorney familiar with the circumstances and status of your case. Though we have considerable experience in the courtroom, we will never take your case to trial at your expense. When appropriate, we will make every effort to save you time and money by resolving your differences through mediation. When mediation does not work, however, we will present an aggressive stance in court.

Our Contempt Practice
We will represent either custodial or non-custodial parents in any legal action to enforce existing custody, visitation or support. Our attorneys also handle contempt of alimony or property settlement orders. In Georgia, this is done through a civil contempt proceeding, where the party seeking compliance with the divorce judgment files a motion to find the other party in contempt until the situation has been remedied. This remedy is only available in Georgia for actions that the court considers to be contempt, and jail time is only ordered when the court finds willful contempt.
Our Divorce Judgment Modification Practice
If you have had a change in circumstance, such as the loss of a job, a relocation for work, a significant increase or decrease in income, or the birth of a child, you may be entitled to a modification of the terms of custody, visitation, child support or alimony orders. We will help you gather the necessary information and will file and argue the motion to modify your divorce decree. While you can not modify an order during a contempt action, we can deal with contempt and modification issues one after the other.
