Resolving Child Custody and Visitation Problems in Georgia
There are two things you can usually count on if you're facing a child custody problem in southeast Georgia — first, don't think you'll get a solid understanding of your rights and responsibilities just by taking a quick look at the law. Judges decide child custody disputes according to the best interests of the children involved based on the facts of your specific situation, and no book will tell you much about how that will turn out.
The other key consideration (which pretty much follows from the first one) is that you're normally better off reaching an agreement with the other parent than you'll be if you take your case to court. You can always control the terms of a negotiated settlement, but you can seldom predict just what a judge will do in a custody or visitation dispute.
If you need advice about the best ways to protect your own interests as a parent while keeping the focus on the best possible outcome for your children, contact a knowledgeable lawyer at the office of Clark & Williams in Brunswick. We offer free consultations, and we can help you avoid unnecessary conflict, confusion and expense.

We work closely with both divorcing and unmarried clients to get a good understanding of your objectives as a parent and the facts that a family court judge would most likely regard as important in resolving a dispute. Along the way, you'll come to understand both your rights and your responsibilities, and you'll be in a good position to define realistic goals for yourself and your family.
In most situations, we'll be able to resolve child custody or visitation issues through negotiation with the other parent. In some cases, however, especially if there are legitimate questions about the fitness of a parent or the safety of the children, it might be very difficult to achieve an outcome that meets both parents' needs. In those cases, we can help you present your strongest case in court.
Our attorneys advise people in cases ranging from uncontested divorce to paternity disputes, grandparents' visitation, out-of-state relocation proposals and motions to modify or enforce the terms of a custody or visitation order.
