Our child custody experts have a proven track record of success in winning child custody battles for our clients. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that your child's best interests are promoted and protected. In Georgia, the standard for determining custody is the "best interest of the child."

This standard gives the Court broad discretion in determining the parent who receives physical custody of the children, the appropriate parenting time and visitation for each parent, and what role each parent will have in making important decisions about their child's welfare, health, education and religious training.The Schachter Law Firm, LLC will work to get you the best custody result through a hearing, trial or mediation on custody issues.

In 2007, the State of Georgia revised the way that child support is calculated. Georgia law now makes both parents responsible for their children's financial support and considers not only each party's income and ability to earn income but also, the expenses parents pay on behalf of their children, including, but not limited to, health insurance, extracurricular activities, educational expenses, and child care expenses.

We recognize that many cases will be resolvable through a period of negotiation and, in those cases, we are prepared to provide creative, outside-the-box solutions to meet our clients' goals.
