Who gets the final say when parents disagree?

In Georgia, legal custody covers four major decision-making areas:
➡️ Education
➡️ Non-emergency medical care
➡️ Religion
➡️ Extracurricular activities.

Traditionally, one parent might have final decision-making authority across all four. But that approach is shifting, especially when parents share parenting time more equally.

Understanding how legal custody works can help you make informed decisions about your children’s future.

Georgia family law can be complicated. Get guidance that fits your situation. Call Brown Dutton & Crider today.

Your marriage may end, but your ability to work together as parents can continue.

Your child turned 18… does child support automatically stop in Georgia?

Not necessarily.

Here’s what parents should know:
✅ Turning 18 does not always end child support.
✅ If your child is still in high school, support may continue until they graduate.
✅ In Georgia, it typically ends when your child graduates high school or turns 20, whichever happens first.

Don’t assume your obligation has ended without understanding your court order.

Can grandparents get visitation in Georgia?

The answer isn’t always simple.

❌ Being a grandparent does not automatically create visitation rights.

✅ A grandparent may be able to request visitation, but they must meet specific legal requirements.

Because these cases can depend heavily on timing and evidence, getting guidance early matters.

Back-to-school season can bring a mix of excitement and stress, especially for children adjusting to life between two households.

A few ways co-parents can help make the transition easier:
• Keep routines as consistent as possible.
• Communicate about schedules, school events, and activities.
• Make sure both households stay informed about homework and important deadlines.
• Encourage your child and remind them they have the support of both parents.

A strong co-parenting plan can help children feel secure as they head into a new school year.

If you have questions about your parenting agreement or need help modifying your custody arrangement, contact Brown Dutton & Crider to schedule a consultation.

PSA - Your divorce lawyer shouldn’t just tell you what you want to hear.

A good attorney will:
⚖️ Tell you the truth
⚖️ Set realistic expectations
⚖️ Help you make informed decisions

The goal isn’t to fight for an unrealistic outcome. It’s to build the strongest path forward based on the law.

Looking for honest guidance during your divorce? Contact Brown Dutton & Crider.
