Modification of Child Support or Custody

Contempt

When a court order is ignored, whether about child support, visitation, or property; your rights are at risk. Wade has helped clients take decisive legal action to enforce court orders through contempt proceedings, while keeping the focus on resolution, not retaliation.

Common Contempt Issues Include:

- A parent refusing to follow a custody or visitation schedule

- Failure to pay child or spousal support

- Violating restraining or protective orders

- Ignoring property division terms in a divorce decree

Modification

Even the best divorce or custody agreement can become outdated as life moves on. Whether you’ve lost a job, relocated, remarried, or your child’s needs have changed, you may be eligible for a legal modification of your original court order.

Under Georgia law, you may request a change to:

- Child custody or parenting time (visitation)

- Child support obligations

- Alimony or spousal support

- Relocation provisions

Other terms of a divorce decree, if your life circumstances have changed significantly

A "substantial change in circumstances" is usually required. Wade can help you determine if your situation qualifies.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Marriage is a partnership—both emotional and financial. Wade helps couples create clear, fair agreements that protect their interests and reduce uncertainty, whether before or after marriage.

Prenuptial Agreements are signed before marriage and outline how assets, debts, and property will be handled in the event of divorce or death.

Postnuptial Agreements serve the same purpose but are created after the marriage has begun.

These agreements are especially helpful for:

- Second marriages or blended families

- Protecting family businesses or inheritances

- Clarifying financial responsibilities

- Avoiding future disputes

Estate Planning

Many people ask for a “simple will,” but often, what they truly need is a comprehensive estate plan. Wade helps individuals and families prepare for the future with thoughtful planning that protects loved ones and honors your wishes.

Without a will, state law decides how your estate is divided - often leading to confusion and unintended consequences. But a full estate plan can do much more than distribute assets.

A Complete Estate Plan Can Address:

- Guardianship for minor children

- Second marriages and blended families

- Family businesses and farms

- Life insurance and college planning

- Federal estate tax considerations

Wills

What is a WILL?

A will is a legal document that outlines how you want your property, finances, and personal matters handled after your passing. It can:

- Designate who will receive your assets

- Appoint guardians for minor children

- Express your personal wishes and final arrangements

Wade understands that estate planning is more than just paperwork—it’s about peace of mind.

Trusts

What is a TRUST?

A trust is a legal arrangement that allows you to place assets under the management of a trustee for the benefit of your chosen beneficiaries. Trusts can:

- Help your estate avoid probate court

- Provide privacy in handling your affairs

- Protect assets for children, grandchildren, or loved ones with special needs

Probate

When a loved one passes away, their estate often must go through probate—the legal process of validating a will, settling debts, and distributing assets. Probate can be straightforward in some cases, but it can also become time-consuming, confusing, and stressful for families already coping with loss.

What is PROBATE?

Probate is the court-supervised procedure that:

- Confirms the validity of a will (if one exists)

- Appoints a personal representative (executor) to manage the estate

- Ensures debts and taxes are properly handled

- Oversees the distribution of assets to heirs and beneficiaries
