On our Georgia Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for custody, which reorganized the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the custody petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case and cross-link to other relevant information on our website. Changes made in English and Spanish.
We also reorganized the page to make it easier for users to find the information they need by moving:
- How will a judge make a decision about custody? and At what age can my child decide who s/he wants to live with? to The custody process section; and
- If a custody/visitation order is already in place, can I get it changed? and If I move to a new state, can I transfer my child custody case there? to a new section, After an order is in place.
