Mr. Camp has 22 years of legal experience as an active duty Air Force Staff Judge Advocate to assist military and federal civil service clients in addressing their Family Law matters. Whether it is federal benefits, pensions, child support, or complex custody and visitation matters, Mr. Camp knows first hand the problems faced by members of the Armed Forces and the federal civilian work force when they proceed through a separation or divorce.

His 31 years experience as an attorney is not reserved just for his firm's military clients. He practices exclusively in Family Law and provides all of his clients with practical and down-to-earth advice when addressing their concerns.  His experience and steady manner brings confidence to a turbulent time in our clients' lives.

A frequent speaker for the Georgia Institute on Continuing Legal Education and Mercer Law School, Mr. Camp lectures to other attorneys across the State of Georgia on dividing military and federal retirement pensions, international issues on custody and support, and general family law matters.

In the 2008 Amendments to the Georgia Child Support Guidelines, there has been a significant change in how we compute Gross Income for Members of the Armed Forces.  The effect of the new law is to limit what is included in Gross Monthly Income to be (in most cases) only three components:  (1) Base Pay; (2) Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS); and, Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) at the without dependent rate determined without in any area of assignment variable housing costs.  The Judge or Jury may, however, include Special and Incentive Pay; Family Separation Allowances, and Cost of Living Allowances if it chooses.
