Child custody in GA
“Child custody” is a legal term which is often used by family courts to describe the rights and responsibilities of divorced parents and their minor children, the residency or placement of the children, and the relationship and/or amount of contact the children have with each parent. When divorced parents are unable to agree on such issues, the judges are usually left with the difficult job of determining the most suitable custodial arrangement for the children and parenting plan for the parents. The more parents understand what is involved in child custody determinations, the more knowledgable they will be in taking decisions regarding their children after a divorce.
Each parents rights and responsibilities to his or her minor children include decisions regarding the raising and general welfare of the children on issues like the childrens education, medical care, dental care, and religion. Such rights and responsibilities are commonly called “legal custody” of the children.
The residency or placement of children refers to where the children will live and spend the most of their time. Many time, a child will live with one parent more than the other parent, and the parent with whom the child resides with the most will generally be responsible for the day-to-day care of the child. In few cases, the child will reside equally with both parents, close to equally with both parents, or live a significant amount of time with each parent and the parents will share in the responsibilities and day-to-day care of the child.
