Parenting Issues
The best interests of the child are the determinant in all the court’s decisions concerning custody. Parents can choose between joint legal or joint physical custody, or both. Courts of the State of Georgia do not consider gender as a determinant in the selection of the custodial parent. A child has the possibility to select a residential parent if he or she is mature enough.
Child Support
Both parents should financially support the child until he or she comes of age and the duration of the support may be prolonged until high school graduation. There is a possibility to specify the allocation of college expenses during the divorce suit.
Venue
It is necessary for the Petitioner to file for divorce in the Superior Court of the Respondent’s county of residence. However, if the Respondent does not reside in the State of Georgia, he or she must file in the county of the Petitioner’s residence.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
