According to Georgia laws, you and the other parent should consider the following factors when making decisions regarding the development of your parenting plan:
1. the parental suitability of each parent.
2. the needs of the child.
3. the prior role of each parent.
4. the wishes of the child.
5. the location of the residences of each parent.
6. educational needs of the child.
7. Social and economic welfare of the child.
8. Past domestic abuse.
The Georgia courts realize you and the other parent know your own situation better than anyone else, which is why this is your opportunity to create a parenting plan that will maintain a family structure that is in the best interests of your child(ren).
