Alpharetta Divorce Lawyer
Georgia courts will order joint custody of children after divorce unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. As a practical matter, one parent will typically have primary physical custody while the other parent has visitation (known as parenting time) according to a schedule.
At The Siemon Law Firm, our goal is to help you negotiate an amicable child custody and visitation arrangement that works for your family. However, if you and your ex cannot agree on who should have primary physical custody and how much visitation the other parent should have, our attorneys are experienced in presenting the right arguments and evidence to support your child custody goals.

Who Will Have Primary Residential Custody of Children?
If the parties don't agree, Georgia courts will order mediation. Our lawyers will guide you through the mediation process and try to help you reach an agreement, if that is possible. However, if you and your spouse are far apart, then a judge will decide based on evidence presented to the court. The judge will consider factors such as who has been the primary caretaker for children in the past and the lifestyles of both you and your spouse.
There are many different kinds of visitation schedules. A traditional parenting plan might have the parent without primary physical custody to have the children for overnight visits every other weekend, every other holiday and at other times which are spelled out in the agreement. Visitation rights are usually spelled out in detail.
