Understanding primary custody: what do courts look for?
In Georgia, courts consider various factors under O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3 to determine what is in the best interest of the child.Here is what "running the show" often looks like in the eyes of the court:
• Daily Support: Who wakes the child up
and gets them ready for school?
• Educational Involvement: Who handles
homework and school activities?
• Medical Care: Who schedules and attends the doctor appointments?
• Extracurriculars: Who is enrolling them in
activities and showing up to support them?
• The Emotional Bond: Who has historically
been the most engaged parent and built the strongest bond?
Ultimately, the parent who is most active in the daily "show" of the child's life is often the one granted primary custody.

legal remedy may be filing a Citation for Contempt. This allows the court to hold the non-paying spouse accountable and potentially impose sanctions or other
relief. Court orders are not suggestions—they are legally
enforceable.
