Domestic Violence and Custody in Georgia: Protective Orders and Strategies

Domestic violence plays a significant role in custody decisions under O.C.G.A. § 19-13-1. Courts prioritize the safety of the child and the victim parent.

Protective orders can limit or eliminate visitation rights. Georgia courts take allegations of family violence seriously.

At Chisolm Trimble & Associates, we help clients obtain protective orders and build strong custody cases that prioritize safety.

Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records is critical in these cases.

Our attorneys ensure that the court fully understands the impact of domestic violence on custody decisions.
