Protecting Your Child Custody And Visitation Rights
Fathers have a higher probability of obtaining visitation rights and custody of their children than they ever had in the past. When determining custody and visitation, Georgia courts look at what is in the best interests of a child. We believe it is in a child’s best interests to have both parents actively involved in their children’s lives and will aggressively advocate for joint legal and physical custody when presenting your case to the court.
Whether you have been the child’s primary caregiver, you have had minimal involvement in the child’s upbringing or you have had shared responsibilities with the mother, our attorneys can help you get custody or visitation rights. We will make sure that you fully understand your rights as a father and, most importantly, we will work to make sure you get to spend time with your child.
Child Support That Makes Sense
If you have custody of your child, you are entitled to receive child support from the child’s mother. Every parent is responsible for supporting their child or children regardless of whether they visit them. Our law firm can help you understand Georgia’s child support guidelines so that you know your rights and support your child is entitled to have.
If a paternity test recently revealed that you are a father, you are obligated to pay child support. Our firm can help you understand the Georgia child support guidelines and, in certain cases, we may be able to deviate from the formula to lower your payments.
When determining the amount of child support that each party pays, the courts will consider:
- Where the child lives
- Who will be the primary custodian of the child or children
- Whether you have split or joint custody
- Whether the child has special needs, such as educational expenses or extraordinary medical expenses
- Whether the child is involved in extracurricular activities
