“They never did that during the marriage.”

We hear this one a lot.

But dividing responsibilities in a marriage doesn't automatically mean the other parent is incapable of handling them after divorce.

Maybe one parent always handled schoolwork. Maybe the other handled finances. Maybe one parent always made the doctor's appointments.

That's called dividing labor. It does not imply incompetence.

What matters is how each parent is parenting now.

Have questions about how your parenting history may impact a custody case? We are here to help!

Child Support in Georgia: What Determines the Amount?

There isn't a one-size-fits-all number.

Georgia child support is calculated using a number of factors, including:
➡️ Each parent's income
➡️ Parenting time
➡️ Health insurance costs
➡️ Work-related childcare
➡️ Other qualifying expenses

Your specific circumstances matter, and understanding how these factors apply to your situation can help you better understand your potential child support obligation or entitlement.

One of the most important things to understand about a Georgia divorce settlement: your property settlement agreement is not something you can simply change later.

That means the details matter. A lot.

What happens if someone agrees to refinance the marital home but can't qualify? What happens if a deadline isn't met? What happens if circumstances change?

These are the kinds of questions that need to be addressed before you sign.

Don't just understand what you're agreeing to. Understand what happens if the agreement isn't followed.

Before signing a property settlement agreement, make sure you understand the long-term implications. Our Georgia family law attorneys can help: (770) 422-4241

Your child should never have to be the “middle-man.”

A few reminders for navigating co-parenting after divorce:
➡️ Your child is not your messenger.
➡️ You don't both have to attend every event.
➡️ If being in the same room creates tension, consider taking turns.
➡️ Put your child's comfort ahead of proving a point.

Co-parenting isn't about making everything equal. It's about making things better for your child.

When alcohol use becomes a concern in a custody case, the conversation has to come back to one thing: the child's safety.

Tools like can provide real-time alcohol monitoring while allowing a parent to maintain a meaningful relationship with their child.

For families navigating these concerns, having reliable information can help create accountability, structure, and peace of mind.

If alcohol use is creating concerns about your child's safety, talk with a family law attorney about your legal options.

Who gets the final say when parents disagree?

In Georgia, legal custody covers four major decision-making areas:
➡️ Education
➡️ Non-emergency medical care
➡️ Religion
➡️ Extracurricular activities.

Traditionally, one parent might have final decision-making authority across all four. But that approach is shifting, especially when parents share parenting time more equally.

Understanding how legal custody works can help you make informed decisions about your children’s future.

Georgia family law can be complicated. Get guidance that fits your situation. Call Brown Dutton & Crider today.

The past happened. But it doesn’t have to lead your future.

Co-parenting after divorce means:
✅ Showing up for your children
✅ Communicating with purpose
✅ Putting their needs first

Your marriage may end, but your ability to work together as parents can continue.
