Child Custody Issues in Georgia

Our Savannah attorneys understand that your family has its own set of dynamics, and you deserve specialized treatment. Additionally, your child needs a stable environment and the right to have a relationship with both its parents.
Child custody cases involve both legal and physical custody issues. Having legal custody gives you the right to participate in any significant life decisions regarding your children, such as schooling or religion.
Most Georgia courts will award either primary custody to you or your ex-spouse or joint custody to both of you, depending on your circumstances and what is in the best interest of your child.
It’s important to understand that both you and your spouse have an essential part in your child’s life. Therefore, it’s vitally important that you have a child custody agreement in place to ensure that your parent-child relationship remains stable and healthy and help you to spend time with your child.
There may be jurisdictional issues between you and your ex-spouse, and our Savannah law firm can assist you with these types of matters. We can also help you with any problems that arise out of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.
