What’s Best for the Child



When divorce proceedings involve children, it can be a complicated process to determine who the custodial parent will be. One party may favor their parenting skills over the other, and the child may be caught in the middle of a potentially volatile situation. In cases where the parents are unmarried, significant problems can arise if no resolution can be reached between the parents.


Our firm handles child custody cases and modifications in a discreet and professional manner, understanding the sensitive nature of the situation, while placing the child’s best interest at the forefront. Our counsel consists of a number of variables when working on the parent’s behalf to establish the best scenario for the child. The State of Georgia has specific guidelines on determining the awarding of custody, and we work diligently to ensure our clients have the best advocate on their side. We know how emotional a divorce can be, especially when children are involved, and we will be sensitive to your needs, while ensuring that your rights as a parent are upheld at all times.

Working Cooperatively


The first step in the process is to be educated, and our legal team can provide pertinent information on what custody is, what it means, and the requirements needed to win the case. We will clearly communicate that parents should try to work cooperatively as much as possible for the best interest of the child. This isn’t always easy, but can be beneficial when it comes to the welfare of the child.


We know that it can be difficult to see beyond what you think is the right choice, and we will help you determine what type of custody arrangement is best for your child. Our goal is to achieve the outcome that puts the child in the most positive, stable environment possible so that they can grow and thrive. Depending on the number of children and the age of each child, we’ll pursue a custody arrangement that meets all of their needs adequately.

Fathers and Mothers



Unmarried fathers in Georgia have no legal rights to their children, unless they file a petition for legitimation. A petition for legitimation, if granted, will allow the father to have custody rights. We represent many fathers for primary custody of their children. We also represent many mothers, and we don’t favor fathers over mothers, or mothers over fathers. We advocate for what is right based on your child and the circumstances. Every situation is different, and we will look at all the facts as they relate to your case in order to determine which course of action is appropriate. As your legal representative, we will do everything we can to work towards that outcome that best suits your desires, while keeping the child as the top priority at all times.


Our goals are to make sure our clients are satisfied, the minor child is safe and in a loving and stable environment, and that we have provided adequate representation in the custodial and visitation arrangements. Custody arrangements can be delicate situations, but we’ll work on ensuring that the outcome is acceptable to both parties, based on the circumstances of the case.


With years of experience in this area, we can help you in obtaining a favorable outcome in your custody case. Contact The Fairell Law Firm for fair results today!
