Child Custody & Support in Gwinnett County
Protecting Your Children's Future
Child Custody
Understanding the types of child custody and how Georgia courts determine custody arrangements can help you decide on the best solution for your family. Consulting with a skilled child custody attorney ensures you navigate the process with confidence and clarity.
In some cases, a parent may have physical custody but share legal custody with the other parent, ensuring both remain involved in crucial life decisions. At O'Hagan Law Firm, I will ensure that your custody arrangements reflect not only your rights but also the well-being and future of your child.
Physical Custody
Determines where the child primarily lives and which parent is responsible for day-to-day care.
Legal Custody
Grants a parent the right to make important decisions about the child's education, healthcare, and religious upbringing.
Sole Custody
One parent has primary physical and/or legal custody, with the other parent typically receiving visitation rights.
Joint Custody
Both parents share physical and/or legal custody, keeping both actively involved in the child's life.
