Family Law FAQS
Frequently asked questions about family & divorce law in Georgia
What are the grounds for divorce in Georgia?
How is child custody determined in Georgia?
Child custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the emotional ties between the child and parents, the capacity of the parents to provide for the child’s needs, and the stability of the home environment: among many other considerations that are specific to each situation.
How is child support calculated?
Georgia uses an “Income Shares Model” for determining child support, where both parents’ incomes are considered in determining the amount that the court will accept. Both parents are expected to contribute to the support of children.
Can child support or custody orders be modified?
What is legitimation, and why is it important?
Under Georgia law, the legal process of legitimation is required if a child is born out of wed-lock. This court process is required to recognize the father as the legal parent of the child and allow the father to have important parental rights.
How are assets divided in a divorce?
What is mediation in the context of family law?
How long does a divorce take in Georgia?
Do grandparents have visitation rights?
Historically, grandparents have not been afforded any visitation or custody rights under Georgia law. In 2019, however, Georgia legislated the Georgia Equitable Caregiver Act. This law allows the Courts discretion to award caregivers other than parents, such as grandparents, visitation and caregiving authority.
What are protective orders, and when are they used?
Protective Orders in Georgia are also referred to as “Orders of Protection,” and they are very different from “Restraining Orders.” Protective Orders in Georgia are issued under the Federal Family Violence Act and Georgia’s “Stalking Statute.” They are enforceable by law enforcement and violation of a Protective Order can be a felony under Georgia law. Restraining Orders offer no protection and simply restrain an individual from taking certain actions. Restraining orders are not enforceable by law enforcement. Our family law team are experts in this area of the law. Attorney Seidenberg was a member of a Legislative Task Force to implement these laws in Georgia.
