Georgia Child Custody

There is no gender based preference or joint Custody preference under the law, but the parents may choose a joint legal and/or joint physical Custody arrangement. Typically, a mature child of fourteen or older may decide which parent to live with.

Custody is determined according to the best interests of the child. The parties or the court should consider many factors in reaching a Custody decision including:

• Age and sex of the child;
• Compatibility with each parent;
• Ability of each parent to care for and nurture the child.
