Understanding how child custody is determined in Georgia can be overwhelming, especially during divorce or separation. In this video, family law attorney Casey Tuggle explains the legal standards used by Georgia courts when making custody decisions, including what "best interests of the child" means in practical terms.

Whether you're seeking primary custody, negotiating a joint parenting arrangement, or modifying an existing order, knowing what the court will consider—such as parental fitness, child preferences (when appropriate), and each parent’s involvement—can help you better prepare for your case.

This video also outlines the difference between legal and physical custody, common misconceptions, and how parents can position themselves to protect their relationship with their children.
