William M. Ordway
Child Custody
The Georgia courts award physical custody based on the best interests of the child. Taken into consideration is the safety of the child, any history of domestic abuse and the preferences of the child if the child is of an appropriate age and maturity.
The agreed upon view in child custody law is that children benefit greatly from having both parents in their lives. Determining the custodial arrangement for physical or legal custody during a divorce can be quite difficult and confusing to the parties and the child. Bill Ordway can help clients through the process to reach a harmonious arrangement.
Recent changes to the child custody and child support laws have raised concerns about father’s rights, since the father is often the parent who has less custodial time and pays more child support. At Ordway & deAndrade ,we vigorously defend the rights of both parents and can assist with modifications to support, custody and visitation arrangements.
