Athens GA Child Custody Plans
Athens-Clarke County GA custody attorneys
For hundreds of divorced and separated parents with children, there is a simple explanation as to why they ended up with the child custody and visitation arrangement they have the court determined it. The judge determined the parenting arrangement based on what the judge believed was in the childs best interest.
Judges do not generally make the child custody decision or finalize the parenting plan arrangement. In fact, generally, the judge will not make the child custody decision for the parents. It is generally if the parents are unable to reach an agreement on child custody that the judge will determine the parenting arrangement for them. If the judge makes the child custody decision for the parents, it is generally referred to as a final judicial order or judgment on child custody.
When the judge selects a parenting plan for the parents, it will generally result in one or both parents being upset or feeling a sense of loss. Generally, a parent feels as though he or she won child custody while the other parent feels that he or she “lost” child custody. There are times when both parents are disappointed with the decision of the judge. It is never the case that both parents feel like they won when the court makes the child custody decision.
To avoid an arbitrary decision taken by the court, you must understand how child custody decisions are made and the laws in Georgia. How judges have decided in the past and the factors that influences the decisions is information that will be useful to you.
