Divorce requires decisions about your family, property and financial future. At Downie Law, LLC, attorney Jack M. Downie Sr. helps clients work through those decisions with a clear understanding of the issues and the available options.
From our office in Vidalia, Georgia, we assist with contested and uncontested divorce matters. Call (912) 324-2320 to request a divorce consultation.
When you are working toward an agreement
Even when spouses want to resolve a divorce cooperatively, the written terms deserve careful attention. We can help review proposed arrangements, identify unresolved questions and prepare documents that reflect the intended agreement.
Depending on your circumstances, the discussion may include property, debts, support, custody and parenting time. We explain the issues relevant to your case and the next steps in presenting an agreement.
When important issues remain disputed
Some cases require negotiations, mediation or court proceedings to address disagreements. We help clients organize evidence, evaluate proposals and prepare to present their position when a resolution cannot be reached.
Your priorities may include housing, business interests, financial support or time with your children. Identifying those concerns early helps keep the work focused on the decisions that matter to you.

Children and parenting arrangements
