Superior Court
handles custody in GA
Ga. Code § 19-9-3
custody statute
Georgia custody law
Georgia courts award custody based on the best interests of the child and may consider the child's preference if they are 14 or older.
What Georgia courts consider in custody decisions
Georgia courts consider the love and bonding between each parent and child, each parent's knowledge of the child's needs, the home environment, the stability of each family unit, the mental and physical health of parents, each parent's involvement in the child's educational and social activities, and any history of family violence. Children 14 and older have the right to select which parent they live with, subject to the court finding the choice is in the child's best interest.
How the custody process works in Georgia
Georgia custody cases are heard in Superior Court. Parents may file a parenting plan outlining legal custody, physical custody, and visitation. If the child is 14 or older, their custodial preference is given significant weight and can only be overridden if the court finds it is not in the child's best interest. For children 11-13, the court must consider their wishes. Mediation through court-connected ADR programs is commonly required.

Civly is not a law firm and this page is not legal advice. Custody law and the rules of evidence vary from state to state, and individual judges apply them differently.

Civly launched in 2026 and is not named in many court orders yet — if your order already requires a specific platform, keep using it and ask your attorney before switching.
