How custody works in Georgia

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.

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.

Cases from Atlanta are filed in Fulton County and heard in the Fulton County Superior Court, Family Division. The court that hears your case is determined by where the children have been living, not by where either parent works.
