Types of Child Custody
Child custody and visitation arrangements are matters of great concern to parents. Many types of arrangements are possible, from sole custody for one parent to 50-50 joint custody. You and your spouse can tailor your child custody arrangement to meet your needs and your schedules.
If the two sides are unable to come to a child custody and visitation agreement, then Georgia courts will order mediation. Our lawyers will represent you in the mediation process and help you negotiate an agreement with the other side.
However, if you and your spouse cannot reach an agreement even after mediation, then litigation may be your only choice. Our attorneys are able litigators who are prepared to protect your interests in court.
The Best Interests of Your Children
Atlanta courts will consider the best interests of your children in determining child custody. In presenting your arguments to the court, therefore, it's important to present evidence according to what is in the best interests of your children.
Examples of evidence would include who has been the primary caretaker, the lifestyle of both parties, and any evidence of past abuse. If your children are teenagers, the court will consider their wishes.
