How Are Child-Related Issues Handled In Georgia?

Child custody orders are created first, before either support orders or visitation arrangements, and are established by either both parents or by the court. Legal custody refers to the ability to make decisions for your child and physical custody denotes where the child spends their time. Both can be either joint or sole custody. In an effort to support the child, the following factors are first considered:

• The bond each parent has with the child
• Each parent's financial circumstances
• The parent's future involvement in the child's life
• The home environment of each parent
• Any history of family violence or abuse

After custody orders are decreed, it is time to establish visitation. This schedule designates how and where your child's time is spent. Birthdays, holidays, weekdays and weekends, and vacations are all considered. The more comprehensive the visitation schedule, the better. Finally, the court creates support orders. The parent who has the children for more than half of the time is considered the custodial parent and typically receives more support. Support orders are generally established by adding each parent's gross income together and applying that total to the number of children involved. The noncustodial parent may be left with the bulk of the payment. We handle child custody and other family law matters with assertive, yet understanding, representation.
