Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Good question! "Joint Legal Custody" means that both mom and dad share in the decisions that effect the child -- medical decisions, education decisions, religious upbringing, for example. "Joint Physical Custody" means that the child physical resides with each parent for a certain period of time. For instance, a child may be with one parent on the weekend and the other during the week. Or perhaps a child is with mom during the school year and dad during holidays and summer break.
