Divorce Stigma Scholarship

The Atlanta Divorce Law Group has worked with countless families through the most challenging times of their lives. Our attorneys have experience working through all aspects of divorce proceedings and see the strain it places on families. Even though many people view divorce as a negative situation, we believe in life Happily Ever After Divorce. It is our mission to get rid of the stigma of divorce so people can make a real decision for their family’s future that does not come from a place of guilt and shame. We believe that when guilt and shame run the show, families stay stuck in dysfunctional relationships rather than move towards becoming a healthier, happier family, even if that family operates under a different framework than marriage, but nonetheless remains a family.

Through our experience, our attorneys see firsthand how divorce can actually leave families happier and lead to positive lives post-divorce. The Atlanta Divorce Law Group is proud to hold The Divorce Stigma Scholarship for another year to hear students share their experiences with divorce and how they differ from the stigma surrounding it today. Share your story with us and explain how the divorce experience of a close friend or family member positively affected those involved.
