Nothing in a family case matters more than your children. Georgia courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child — a standard that considers each parent's involvement, stability, and ability to meet the child's needs. Presenting your case under that standard takes preparation and credible evidence.

Child Custody & Visitation FAQ
At what age can a child choose which parent to live with in Georgia?+
At age 14, a child's selection of a primary physical custodian is generally controlling unless the court finds it is not in the child's best interests. Between ages 11 and 14, the court gives the child's preference serious consideration.
Do Georgia courts favor mothers in custody cases?+
No. Georgia law is gender-neutral. Custody is decided on the best-interests factors, and fathers who are actively involved in their children's lives routinely win primary or shared custody.
Can custody orders be changed?+
Yes. If there has been a material change in circumstances affecting the child, either parent can petition to modify custody. Visitation schedules can generally be revisited once every two years even without a major change.
