Adkins Law -Gwinnett's Top Divorce Attorney

The health and wellbeing of your children is usually a primary issue of all parents. Custody litigation, which includes visitation with the non-custodial parent is complex and involves delicate matters regarding many issues that are of paramount importance to you.

Here are a few of those issues:

* Should your child be held back a grade in his/her school?

* Should your child take mood altering medications, such as anti-depressants?

* Should your child take medication for Attention Deficient Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficient Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)?

* Should your child be moved out of his/her current school district?

* Should your child be raised in a certain faith/religion?

* Should your child be taken out of the continental United States?

* Should your child’s primary residence be located outside of Georgia?
* Should a step-parent use corporeal punishment on your child?

* Is there evidence of sexual abuse against your child?

* Is there evidence of physical abuse against your child?

* Is there evidence of emotional abuse against your child?

* Is your child failing school?

* Is your child unsupervised?

* Is your child neglected?

* Is your child using drugs?

* Is your child committing crimes or hanging around a “bad” element?

In most cases, children need both parents after a divorce or break up. The law and most judges start from that proposition, especially after a break up of the family unit. Your children, and their wellbeing, are the most important thing in any family law case.

FATHER’S CUSTODY RIGHTS

Although the law is “gender neutral”, most often Father’s have an uphill battle in custody battles. There are many reasons for this unequal treatment, including biases of judges, the traditional roles of mothers vs. fathers, the “tender years doctrine”, or the division of labor during the marriage that changes after a divorce occurs.

However, in a growing number of cases, the Father is the better choice for a primary custodian after a divorce.
