Child Custody & Visitation FAQs
What You Need to Know About Child Custody & Visitation in Metro Atlanta Georgia
How does Georgia determine custody?
Georgia courts prioritize the best interests of the child, considering factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, each parent’s ability to care for the child, and the child’s unique needs. To understand how this may apply to your case, it’s best to consult directly with a family law attorney.
Can custody be changed later?
Yes. If there has been a material change in circumstances—such as a parent relocating or a shift in parenting ability—you can request a custody modification. We can help evaluate whether your case qualifies and guide you through the legal process.
What’s the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody involves the authority to make decisions about a child’s education, health care, and general welfare. Physical custody refers to where the child lives. We’ll help you seek an arrangement that meets your child’s needs and your parenting goals.
Do grandparents have visitation rights in Georgia?
Yes, under Georgia law, grandparents may petition the court for visitation if they can show it is in the best interests of the child. Attorney Kristal S. Ramirez can evaluate your family dynamics, prepare the legal documentation, and represent your case to help protect and maintain these important relationships.
