Child Support/Custody and Visitation

  

Although Georgia state law lays outsets forth specific guidelines in statute to determine child support, there are a number of outside factors that may affect the court’s final order. These factors may include daycare expenses, supplemental needs of the child, education, and higher education costs.

No case is cut and dried. Consult with a knowledgeable lawyer who has experience handling these sensitive cases.

In Georgia, it is common for one parent to have primary physical custody while one parent has visitation. Georgia encourages joint legal custody. Legal custody refers to decision making regarding education, religion, health, and other issues.

Enforcement of visitation schedules and child custody orders, or modifications to these orders, are issues that can arise after the divorce decree.

Some people may be surprised to learn that child custody and child supportdo not go hand-in-hand. For instance, while a party may not be making child support payments on time or at all, the other party cannot withhold visitation. If one parent refuses to cooperate with the visitation order, child custody enforcement may become an issue.
