Child Custody & Support

Georgia Child Custody Lawyers

When minor children are involved in a divorce, the court, the attorneys, and especially the parents need to keep the children's best interests in mind when making decisions about child custody. At our law firm, the family law attorneys understand each family is unique. Custody choices are not the same for every family and every circumstance.

Every parent has rights and obligations with regard to their children. A divorce does not change that. Parenting time and financial support remain important obligations.

• Child custody: Where should the children live? Can they live equally with both parents or do circumstances make that unworkable? When parents cannot agree, the court may order mediation. If mediation fails to produce a resolution, the judge will make a decision.
• Visitation, parenting time: If there is a non-custodial parent, how much visitation or parenting time should be available? What works best for the parents and the child? If the parents cannot agree, the judge will decide.
• Child support: The Georgia child support guidelines have been undergoing changes. We can explain the current law to you and help you understand how it affects you and your children.
• Mediation: Courts often require parents to seek mediation in order to resolve child custody, parenting time, and visitation issues. Mediation often helps the parents work out their own resolution rather than depend on a third party to make decisions for them.
