Shared Parenting in Georgia: When It Works and When It Doesn’t

Shared parenting is common in Georgia under O.C.G.A. § 19-9-3, but it is not always appropriate.

Courts evaluate whether parents can effectively communicate and cooperate. High-conflict relationships often make shared parenting unworkable.

At Chisolm Trimble & Associates, we help clients determine whether shared parenting is realistic and beneficial.

When appropriate, we structure parenting plans that support cooperation and stability. When not, we advocate for arrangements that protect the child.

Each case requires a tailored approach based on the family’s circumstances.
