Should You File First?

Men often wonder if they should file for divorce first. There is little legal distinction between filing first or having your spouse file first.

Filing before your spouse allows you to better control the timeline of your divorce. You’ll have adequate time before you file to get your finances in order and reconcile your emotions about dissolving your marriage. It also allows the opportunity to present first in court, which may give you better persuasion power should your case go to trial.

Can a Father Get Custody?

Yes, a father can get custody in Georgia divorce courts. Georgia courts determine custody based on the best interests of the children not the gender of the parents. Regardless of gender, a divorce lawyer can work to prove that living with the other parent would not be in your child’s best interests. As a father, you should have as much opportunity to receive primary custody as a mother. In the event you don’t receive primary custody, our lawyers fight for you to receive the maximum available time with your child.

As your children’s legal father, whether you are a biological or adoptive father, you have the right to maintain consistent communication with your children barring extreme circumstances of violence or abuse. You have every right to fully participate in rearing them, helping choose their place of worship, the child’s extracurricular activities, what school they attend, as well as other issues and activities that pertain to the children. A divorce from your spouse does not change that. Click here to read more about fathers' custody rights in the state of Georgia.
