Seeking advice from Experienced Divorce & Custody Lawyers in Atlanta – I Have Strong Evidence of Abuse & Neglect

Location: Atlanta

Hi lawyers and redditors, not trying to sound cocky with the title, just wanted to grab attention. I believe the facts are on my side in this divorce case, but I’d like you to judge for yourself. I need an experienced divorce lawyer, ideally someone who has handled cases involving domestic abuse and custody, and possibly one who offers pro bono or reduced-fee work. My goal is full legal custody of my kids, and I’m prepared to fight tooth and nail. I also need advice on what I should do from this point forward.

Here’s the situation:

  1. My spouse is a narcissist. Marriage therapy didn’t work, even the therapist appeared visibly fed up with her.
  2. She has not been caring for our toddler children. They have slept exclusively with me for the past year. If I’m late returning home, she sends them back to me.
  3. I, along with my parents, take care of them daily: playgrounds, activities, dinner, etc. Only occasionally does she take them out, usually to meet her friends and their kids. The kids don't go to school yet.
  4. I have voice recordings of her discussing infidelity with lovers and with friends. When confronted, she said, “You made me do it.” (I’m unsure how useful these recordings will be in court though, but letting you know.)
  5. I have video (s) (recorded on my therapist’s advice when any situation escalates) of her hitting me while my children were crying. She partially hit them while trying to hit me.
  6. I have text messages where she admits and apologizes for hitting me multiple times, including threats to falsely claim abuse so the police would take me away. There are pictures in the texts where my hand is swollen.
  7. On one occasion, after slapping me, she said the next day, “Be a man and take it, I just hit your face, no big deal.” She regularly insults me, calling me a loser, saying I have no spine, am not a man and provoking me to escalate. I haven't done so. I have never hit her back.

If you are an experienced divorce lawyer, especially with custody battles involving abuse, or know someone who is, please reply here or DM me. Pro bono or reduced-fee arrangements would be deeply appreciated but am open to other arrangements. Help me get my kids safe who think the world of me and I of them.
