We Can Help You Negotiate A Parenting Plan
Parents often disagree when they are trying to decide what is in the best interest of their child. Crafting a parenting plan can be difficult. We will use our experience to help you negotiate a parenting plan that is in the best interest of your children. A parenting plan includes:
- Where the child will spend school nights, weekends, summers and holidays
- Who can make key life decisions for the child
- Access and sharing of information
- Rules for each parent’s parenting time that can be customized according to issues and concerns about the children and/or the other parent
All these issues will be clearly laid out for both parents. Georgia requires a separate order for parenting plans.
Understanding Different Custody Agreements
In Georgia, the courts recognize two types of custody, legal and physical. If a parent has legal custody of the child, they will make decisions for the child such as where the child attends school or church. Physical custody refers to where the child lives. Georgia allows sole and joint custody.
Children 14 years and older have a say as to where they want to live on a primary basis and the court takes that into consideration. Our focus is what is in the best interest of the child, and we will make sure a plan is set in place that honors them.
