Child Custody Laws in Georgia
Custody arrangements for children in Georgia can fall into two different categories.
With physical custody, the child lives with the custodial parent, who can either have sole custody or joint custody. A parent can only obtain sole custody over their child if a judge rules that the other parent is unfit to raise their child.
The second type of custody in Georgia is legal custody. A parent with legal custody can make all major medical, legal, and educational decisions for their child. Judges in Georgia will often grant both parents joint legal custody in most custody cases.
Best Interest of the Child
- The physical and mental health of the parents
- The ability of the parents to care for their child
- Criminal histories of both parents
- History of abuse by either parent
- Relationship between each parent and the child
- Involvement of both parents in their child's education
Parenting Plans
In Georgia, any parents seeking a divorce, whether contested or uncontested, must provide a judge with a parenting plan for their children. Parenting plans determine where the child will spend their time and outlines the child’s needs. Parenting plans also determine the child’s primary caretaker and set limits on each parent’s access to the child. Most parents call upon a child custody lawyer or family care attorney to help them draw up a parenting plan to ensure that it considers both parents’ interests.
In court, a judge will consider the parenting plan to determine what is in the child’s best interest. Additionally, judges may hear from children over the age of 11 to help make their final custody decision.
