The 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. Despite the fact that 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 families 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 make movement towards becoming a healthier and happier family that may be under a different framework than marriage but nonetheless still a family.

Through our experience, our attorneys see first hand how divorce can actually leave families happier and lead to positive lives post-divorce. This year, The Atlanta Divorce Law Group is proud to announce The Divorce Stigma Scholarship to hear students share their experience with divorce and how it differed from the negative stigma that surrounds divorce today.
