Our Divorce & Family Law Practice

Skilled, experienced, and caring advocacy during divorce

Uncontested Divorce
Flat Fee

Settle your divorce with a flat fee by tier ($5,000 / $7,500 / $10,000 depending on case complexity) and no hourly billing. Both spouses sign one settlement agreement and finalize after the 31-day waiting period plus a county-dependent final step.

Prenup & Postnup

Protect separate property, retirement accounts, and future assets with a written agreement. Standard prenup or postnup is $3,000 with first draft delivered within 5 business days; prenup or postnup review is $1,500.

TPO & Protective Orders

Emergency protective order representation when safety is at risk. We handle TPO petitions and TPO defense in Fulton, Gwinnett, and Forsyth Superior Courts on a $5,000 flat fee.

Contested Divorce

Contested divorce representation when spouses disagree on terms. Cases run 6 to 12 months from filing. Representation begins with a $7,500 retainer; hourly billing is subtracted from the retainer.

Contempt & Modifications

Enforce existing court orders or change terms when circumstances change. Modification representation is a $7,500 retainer with hourly billing subtracted from the retainer; contempt actions are a $5,000 retainer.

High Asset Divorce

Divorce matters involving business ownership, executive compensation, multiple real estate holdings, and retirement assets. We collaborate with CDFP-certified financial planners, forensic accountants and business valuators to handle sophisticated financial analysis and complex asset valuations.

Mediation

Resolve family law disputes through mediation with the guidance of a neutral third party. Mediation can help address divorce, custody, parenting time, support, and other family matters in a more efficient, collaborative, private, and cost-effective setting than traditional litigation.

Child Custody

Custody representation grounded in Georgia’s best-interest standard. We handle legal and physical custody, parenting time schedules, and parenting time disputes across Fulton, Gwinnett, and Forsyth counties.

David Tannen shared a better or other alternatives for me to solve my situation without charge. For a regular person with no background of laws, it sometimes is frustrating that I have no direction or where to go or start, but he is such a great lawyer to share his knowledge with me. Thank you!

Tannen Law Group is exactly who I needed on my side during an extremely difficult and challenging situation. Mr. Tannen is not only a brilliant attorney, he is funny and kind and makes really hard decisions easy to understand and navigate. He knows the laws and I truly felt he was on my side and would fight every battle for me. He is genuinely an excellent attorney and I am confident I made the right decision to hire him to represent me. He is thorough in his explanations of legal options, transparent with the financial cost, and easy to talk to. The Tannen Law Group office is welcoming and safe. Melissa is quick to answer all calls and emails and kept me informed every step of the way. She is friendly and sweet and was such an encouragement to me from the very first call I made all the way to the very last appointment. Tannen Law Group has not only my deepest appreciation but my highest recommendation. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to have them as my legal team.

I can’t say enough good things about the team at Tannen Law Group. David, Kevin, and Melissa truly stand out in the world of divorce law. From the very beginning, they made a difficult process feel manageable with their calm, thoughtful, and balanced approach. What impressed me most is their commitment to keeping matters out of the courtroom whenever possible. They are highly skilled at navigating negotiations in a way that protects their clients’ interests while reducing unnecessary conflict. Their flexibility and responsiveness made communication easy, and I always felt informed and supported. At the same time, they are incredibly capable advocates. When it comes to standing firm and making strong, strategic arguments, they know exactly how to position their clients for the best possible outcome. It’s clear they combine compassion with sharp legal expertise. If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who is professional, strategic, and genuinely focused on achieving the right results without escalating tensions, I highly recommend Tannen Law Group.

Ethical. Compassionate. Skilled. Not the immediate mix of adjectives you think of when referring to a law firm. I am writing this review just for that reason. You need to know the combination is possible - especially when looking for counsel during a trying time in your life. For me that was divorce - specifically post divorce. As some of you may be aware the saga of divorce does not necessarily end with signatures on divorce documents. Unfortunately, I had and continue to have challenges that require legal counsel. During several consultations David provided transparent and honest advice - at times even suggesting when best not to pursue action. This was so refreshing as he was prioritizing my outcome not his income. And Melissa is an extension of this integrity and embodies compassion. Her care helped see me through a difficult process. Please do your due diligence when selecting representation. The stakes are too high. And please do yourself a huge service and include The Tannen group into your consideration set. Certainly lead with skill and experience when making a decision, something David and Melissa deliver, but give yourself the rare opportunity to have those that care also on your side. Good luck!

I got divorced in 2023 with Merry, Weather & Tharp as my attorneys and received a crap deal that they said I should take. I took my ex back only a year later and received a much better deal and everything was done so differently than the first time. The difference was night and day and Tannen law group not only helped me receive a better parenting plan where I have way more time with my daughter but they were there for me on a personal level. I highly recommend them!

David and Ian were absolutely fantastic in helping my husband and I with our child custody case in Forsyth county as well as the appeals court case that we had! They were extremely knowledgeable and efficient with our time and our money. We had the best possible outcome. They got both cases dropped and dismissed! If I ever had any other family law concerns or problems I would come back to them in a heartbeat!
