In north Fulton County, a divorce is often a money story as much as a family one. Many couples in Alpharetta, Milton and Johns Creek share a home bought at today’s prices, a pair of 401(k) plans and stock from a tech job off GA-400. Some also share a small business. Each of those pieces needs a value before it can be split.
That is why the lawyer you pick matters. Georgia divides marital property in a way that is fair, which is not always half and half. A good attorney knows how to trace what is marital and what is separate, and how to build a parenting plan that fits real school and work hours. The firms below all handle divorce for families across the north Atlanta area.
1. Cordell & Cordell – Family law depth with a local team in Alpharetta
Type: Family law firm
Focus: Divorce, custody, child support, spousal support and property division
Location: Deerfield Parkway, Alpharetta
Cordell & Cordell has practiced family law for more than 35 years. It now has more than 100 offices, and its Alpharetta office serves clients across the north Atlanta area. The team there handles divorce, collaborative divorce and military divorce. It also handles custody, child and spousal support, property division, prenuptial agreements, changes to court orders and contempt cases.
Litigation partner Kevin Mammola leads the office. He began his career on the state’s side of child support, first as a child support agent and later helping the Fulton County Special Assistant Attorney General prosecute about 50 support cases a month. That work gives him a clear view of how support numbers are built and enforced.
Mammola is admitted to Georgia’s Superior Courts, Court of Appeals and Supreme Court, and he is a member of the firm’s appellate group. He has tried divorce cases before juries. He also volunteers as a guardian ad litem in custody cases in the Family Division of Fulton County Superior Court, where he looks at a case from the child’s side.
The firm says its work is about protecting its clients’ rights. It describes a first call this way: “This is just a conversation, and there is no obligation to move forward.” The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

What to Look For in an Alpharetta Divorce Attorney
A general lawyer can file the papers. A seasoned divorce attorney does more with the money side. They ask for the right records early, spot assets that are easy to miss and know when a home or business needs an outside value. They also know how local judges tend to view temporary support and custody, so the first weeks of the case go well.
Custody takes the same care. Look for someone who can build a parenting plan around real school days, sports and work travel. Ask how they handle court orders that need to change later, and whether they can take a case up on appeal if it comes to that.
