Types of Custody in Georgia

In Georgia, there are two main types of custody that may be granted to parents: legal custody and physical custody. Each can be shared by both parents or granted solely to one, depending on what the court believes is in the best interest of the child.

Legal custody

Legal custody refers to the right to make major decisions in a child’s life, such as education, medical care, extracurricular activities, and religious upbringing:

  • Joint legal custody: both parents share the responsibility of making important decisions. However, the court may assign one parent final decision-making authority in case of disagreement.

  • Sole legal custody: only one parent has the right to make all major decisions regarding the child.

Physical custody

Physical custody determines who the child will live with. The options include:

  • Joint physical custody: the child spends significant time with both parents, though not necessarily equally.

  • Sole physical custody: the child primarily lives with one parent, while the other may have visitation rights.

Factors the court considers

To determine custody, Georgia courts consider several factors, including:

  • The emotional bond between the child and each parent

  • Each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment

  • The physical and mental health of both parents

  • Any history of domestic violence or abuse

Thank you for your excellent work and for helping me during my divorce process. I recommend it 100%.

Albert Peréz

Caroline is a detail-oriented lawyer. She goes above and beyond to defend her clients and find evidence to provide the truth to the judge. My narcissistic ex got less than 25% of what he was asking for because he didn't deserve it and Caroline and her team were able to prove it through subpoenas to obtain the documents he refused to provide.

Adetolu Odufuye

Carolina was a key part of my custody battle. Although he could not take my case, he gave me 30 minutes on the phone. That changed our outcome and we were awarded physical custody of our daughter. His love and passion for helping everyone is unprecedented.
