Can Dad's Win Custody?
One of the most common questions that divorce lawyers get is, "can fathers win custody of their children or do mothers always win"? In Georgia, the law is very clear on this matter. There is no presumption in favor of the mother. Custody decisions are not based on the sex of the parents, they are instead based on what is in the best interests of the child/children involved.

There are several reasons why people may want to seek out online divorce forms rather than use a traditional lawyer. The primary reason is that they fear using a lawyer will be too expensive. While online divorce forms may seem convenient and affordable they present several risks. It's best to familiarize yourself with those risks before deciding to use online divorce forms. Additionally, there are many advertisements online for purchasing online forms. Use caution about paying for these since most of these forms can be found online for free.
