Advocating for your family’s rights
Douglas D. Middleton has been helping Georgia families with their family law issues for 32 years. Whether anticipating the joys of adoption or experiencing the pain of marital conflict, Douglas creates solutions.

He can help you with:

Prenuptial agreements
When you marry your beloved, you may not foresee potential problems that can lead to divorce. Douglas expects the unexpected and drafts premarital agreements that protect both spouses' interests and alleviates some of the stress should you ever divorce.

Divorce
Through mediation or litigation, Douglas seeks to obtain the best possible settlement or judgment for his clients, including fair distribution of assets, division of the marital home, child support payments and child custody rights.

Child custody
For many parents, child custody is the most heart-wrenching aspect of divorce. Douglas advocates for your parental rights so you can raise your children in a fit, caring home.

Child visitation
If you are the noncustodial parent, divorce should not force you to miss the important milestones in your children’s lives. Douglas ensures you are given the opportunity to spend the quality time with your children required to encourage their strong growth and development.

Child support
Both parents share in the responsibility of raising children. Douglas upholds your children’s rights to receive the financial support required for a healthy, happy upbringing, while ensuring that the financial burden is divided fairly between both parents.

Spousal support
Getting divorced is difficult, but it should not lead to a financial crisis. Douglas helps establish fair and equitable spousal support, allowing you to continue to live as comfortably as before your marriage ended.

Paternity
Douglas understands the unique role science plays in child custody, child visitation and child support cases. A positive result can help you prove your fatherhood so you can reunite with your biological children and affirm your claim to custody and visitation. A paternity test can conclusively prove you are not the father of a child so you can avoid a lifetime of unfairly paying child support. If you are a mother seeking child support, Douglas guides you through the complex court proceedings to legitimize an unwilling father.

Support modification
Sometimes the unexpected happens — a lost job or a sudden injury — yet you remain obligated to pay child support despite your changed financial circumstances. In other cases, your former spouse receives a huge financial windfall or promotion that should contribute toward your children’s upbringing. Douglas can successfully obtain a modification of your child support order so your children’s financial support is more fairly shared between you and your former spouse.
