In this video, Attorney David Tannen breaks down the key concepts of physical custody and parenting time in Georgia divorce cases. He explains the different types of custody and discusses how parenting time is typically divided.
Custody decisions in Georgia prioritize the best interests of the child, considering factors such as each parent’s ability to provide a stable home, emotional and financial support, and a healthy environment. Courts may also take the child’s preference into account, especially if they are 14 years or older.
In contested cases, courts in Gwinnett, Fulton, and other Georgia counties assess the child’s relationship with each parent, educational needs, and any history of abuse or neglect. A guardian ad litem may be appointed to investigate and advocate for the child’s best interests. At Tannen Law Group, our custody attorneys advocate for fair custody agreements that align with this standard while protecting your parental rights.
A parenting plan establishes clear expectations and responsibilities for both parents, ensuring a stable and supportive environment for the child. It serves as a roadmap for navigating parenting duties and minimizing conflicts after separation or divorce.
Custody and living arrangements define decision-making, residence, and parenting time.
Scheduling ensures both parents share time with the child during important events.
Communication guidelines set expectations for contact, check-ins, and resolving disputes.
Education and extracurricular activities cover school choices, participation, and academic responsibilities.
Healthcare and medical decisions, doctor choices, and special care needs.
Preparation for dispute resolution ensures the co-parenting plan stays flexible and effective through changes.
At Tannen Law Group, we guide parents in creating customized, legally sound co-parenting plans tailored to their unique needs, promoting a stable and positive upbringing for their children while minimizing future disputes.
Helping you adjust custody with care.
Custody arrangements may need to change over time due to major life events such as a parent’s relocation, a child’s evolving needs, or significant changes in a parent’s circumstances. In Georgia, modifications must demonstrate a substantial change that directly impacts the child’s well-being. Courts consider factors like stability, educational needs, and parental involvement when evaluating these requests.
At Tannen Law Group, we understand that every family’s situation is unique. Our team works closely with you to assess your specific needs and build a strong case for custody modifications that align with your child’s best interests.

In Georgia, a child's preference is considered in custody decisions, but it is not the sole deciding factor. Children aged 11 and older can express a preference, and at 14, their choice carries significant weight unless the court finds it is not in their best interest. Ultimately, the judge evaluates multiple factors, including the child's well-being and parental stability, to make a final decision.
Our team takes pride in transparent billing and cost effectiveness, ensuring that every decision is made with your best interests in mind to minimize wasteful spending and avoid common pitfalls. With our experience, proven processes, and knowledge of cutting-edge technology, we deliver results with maximum efficiency and value.
