Family law reform is an ongoing issue in Georgia, as legislators, legal professionals, and advocates work to improve the system for all families. Over the years, family law in Georgia has evolved in response to changing societal needs and to ensure that the laws reflect the best interests of children and families. 


Advocacy for family law reform includes pushing for changes in areas such as child custody, child support, alimony, and divorce laws. For instance, recent discussions have focused on the importance of ensuring that both parents are involved in their children’s lives post-divorce and that custody laws are updated to reflect the modern needs of families. 


Organizations and attorneys in Georgia advocate for policies that ensure equitable treatment for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, families impacted by domestic violence, and immigrant families. These advocates work to ensure that family law reforms protect individuals and families from unfair treatment, while also promoting fairness and access to justice for everyone. 


The involvement of family law professionals in the reform process is essential in making sure that changes are not only effective but also practical and beneficial for the families they serve. Legal professionals play a key role in shaping policy and advocating for improvements that will benefit families for generations to come.
