Georgia established a new law in 2019 which allows certain individuals who have given significant care and support to a child to be established as an “equitable caregiver.” Once proven, an equitable caregiver can seek visitation or custody rights. Under this new law, an equitable caregiver has a path for requesting the court establish the person as caregiver. This may include court hearings or investigation into the person’s role in school, medical, and activity aspects of the child’s life
