Determining Child Custody Arrangements In Georgia
When it comes to your children, knowing your rights and options for custody is paramount. In Georgia, child custody is categorized into two types: physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody determines where your children will live, while legal custody involves the right to make significant decisions about their upbringing, including education, health care and religious life.
The factors considered in child custody decisions include:
- The best interests of the child
- Each parent’s home environment
- The emotional ties between the child and each parent
- Each parent’s ability to care for and nurture the child
- Any history of family violence or substance abuse
- The child’s wishes, depending on their age and maturity
Our attorneys are dedicated to achieving a custody agreement that serves the best interest of your children while also respecting your rights as a parent.
Ensuring Your Child’s Financial Security Through Child Support Payments
Child support is a crucial aspect of ensuring that children’s needs are met after their parents’ relationship ends. In Georgia, child support is determined by considering both parents’ incomes, the number of children and other necessary expenses related to the children’s upbringing.
Courts will also consider the educational and health needs of the child, existing financial obligations and who has physical custody of the child. Working with our experienced attorneys ensures that the child support set is fair and meets the needs of your children, helping them to maintain their standard of living.
