Georgia family courts will favor a situation that prioritizes the needs of the children, and balances the needs of the parents as well as possible. Ideally the child or children have a stable living condition and are also able to spend meaningful time with both parents. Schooling, proximity to friends and activities, and what will upset the child’s day to day life the least are all factors that may be considered. The standard for most of the decisions around a minor child will be “the best interest of the child”.
