Putting your children’s interests first is what Geller Law is all about. Georgia law requires that every divorce or child custody case include a parenting plan which lays out the schedule and rules surrounding how you and your ex will handle the decisions concerning your children and the visitation for your children.
Physical custody in Georgia means who the children will reside with primarily and on what schedule the children will see each parent.
Legal custody is defined as the rights each parent has to participate in the decision making for the children and rights to access. Legal custody is most often joint between parents; however the law requires that there must be a determination of a tie-breaking decision maker in the areas of education, non-emergency medical decisions, religion, and extra-curricular activities.
Geller Law can assist you in designing and negotiating a parenting plan that works best for your family. In the event you and your ex cannot agree, Geller Law is skilled at advocating for the best parenting plan for your children in the courtroom.
