If you're dealing with a custody matter, one of the biggest questions may be:
"What is the court actually looking at?"
Georgia custody decisions focus on the best interests of the child.
That can involve circumstances such as:
• The child's needs
• The ability of each parent to provide care
• The child's relationship with each parent
• Home stability
• Parental involvement
• Each parent's willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent
• Other circumstances relevant to the child's well-being
That's why custody cases aren't simply about which parent wants custody more.
The details of the family matter.
If you're facing a custody issue, understanding what may be considered can help you prepare more thoughtfully.
