Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Child Custody

You and your husband should each have your own attorney. Even in situations where spouses believe that they agree on all of the issues that will be covered in a consent decree, each party needs their own attorney to examine the document(s) to assure that they are drafted to reflect what each party believes they consented to.

Re: Child Custody

Joint legal custody is very common, and joint physical custody is rarer. Both terms are almost completely meaningless. The words around those words, dealing with how ties are broken and where the child lives and when there are visits are what is actually important. In other words, you've asked a completely unanswerable question, as joint custody means solely what that particular cases says it means.

You need to sit down with a lawyer to determine what is appropriate or likely in your case and proceed accordingly.
