Family Law Touches Everything.
The Stakes Are Too High for the Wrong Attorney.

When your family is in crisis, every decision carries weight. Who your children live with. How your assets are divided. Whether you'll receive the support you need to rebuild. These aren't abstract legal questions — they shape your life for years to come.

The wrong attorney treats your case like a file number. They miss deadlines, give vague advice, and push you toward a settlement because it's easier — not because it's right.

Joanna Boyd treats every case like it's her own family on the line. You get a custom strategy, honest guidance, and an advocate who's prepared to negotiate or litigate — whatever your situation requires.

Common Questions About Family Law in Georgia

What does a family law attorney handle?
Family law covers divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, father's rights, paternity, domestic violence protective orders, legitimation, and modifications to existing court orders. Joanna handles all of these across Metro Atlanta and statewide.
How much does a family law attorney cost?
Costs depend on the complexity of your case. A straightforward uncontested divorce costs significantly less than a contested custody battle. Joanna offers a free initial consultation where she'll give you an honest picture of what to expect — no surprises.
Do fathers have equal rights in Georgia?
Georgia law does not favor mothers over fathers — custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. However, fathers often face unconscious bias in family court. Joanna specializes in father's rights and has a strong track record of securing equal parenting time for dads.
Can I modify an existing custody or support order?
Yes. If your circumstances have changed significantly — new job, relocation, changes in the child's needs — you can petition the court for a modification. Joanna handles custody and support modifications and will assess whether your situation qualifies.
What if my ex isn't following the court order?
If your ex-spouse is violating a custody, support, or visitation order, you can file a contempt action. The court can enforce the original order and impose penalties. Joanna handles contempt proceedings to make sure existing orders are respected.
What areas of Atlanta do you serve?
With offices in Decatur and Lawrenceville, Joanna serves clients across Metro Atlanta including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Clayton, Forsyth, Henry, Coweta, Douglas, Carroll, and Paulding counties — as well as cases statewide in Georgia.
