Recent Changes in Georgia Family Law

By Chimere Chisolm-Trimble, Esq • August 11, 2025

Georgia’s family law statutes are subject to change, and staying informed about recent developments is essential for anyone involved in family law cases. Recent changes in Georgia family law have made an impact on divorce, child custody, child support, and spousal support, reflecting the evolving needs of families and the state's commitment to fairness. One significant change in Georgia family law pertains to child support guidelines. As of recent updates, the Georgia Child Support Guidelines have been revised to provide clearer formulas and better align with the actual needs of children. These changes take into account various factors, such as the number of children, the income of both parents, and the time spent with each parent, ensuring a more equitable distribution of financial responsibility. Another notable change involves modifications to custody and visitation laws. Georgia now emphasizes shared custody arrangements, where both parents are encouraged to remain actively involved in their children's lives. Courts are now more likely to grant joint legal and physical custody, except in situations where one parent’s actions may pose a risk to the child’s well-being. These changes aim to prioritize the child’s best interests by promoting equal access to both parents. Additionally, Georgia has taken steps to provide better protection for victims of domestic violence. Recent legislation has made it easier for victims to obtain protective orders and ensure the safety of themselves and their children. Domestic violence can play a significant role in family law cases, particularly in custody matters, and these legal protections can make a crucial difference.

Fortunately, there are legal resources specifically tailored to support military families in Georgia. Military families often face issues related to jurisdiction, as service members may be stationed in different states or countries. Understanding how military service affects legal proceedings, such as divorce or custody battles, is essential.
