Modifying Custody in Georgia

Once a judge issues a custody order, it remains in effect until a child turns 18 or until modified. Violating this order can result in sanctions.

Life's twists may pose challenges to adhering to custody terms. Families often encounter significant changes necessitating custody modifications.

Initiating a modification is possible for either parent. However, to obtain approval, the petitioning parent must demonstrate a material change impacting the child's well-being or a significant time lapse since the last order. The court grants modifications if it deems them in the child's best interests. Ensure your child's welfare – explore custody adjustments with us.
