In Georgia, it is possible for a grandparent to gain custody of a minor grandchild. However, the process can be complicated and requires the assistance of a skilled and experienced grandparents’ rights attorney. You need an experienced Athens Grandparent Rights Lawyer on your side.

When Georgia courts consider granting child custody to grandparents, they consider the “best interests of the child.” The best interests test consists of several factors, including the physical and emotional health of the child and the ability of available caregivers to ensure the child’s safety and welfare. Courts also can consider the wishes of the children and their relationship with their grandparents.
