Child custody; presumption of joint physical custody in divorce proceedings; provide

Summary

The bill amends Georgia’s child‑custody law so that, in divorce cases, both parents are assumed to share physical custody of their children. The presumption can be rebutted if there is a history of family violence or if joint custody is not feasible, and a judge may still order any custody arrangement. It applies to all divorce proceedings where a child’s custody is contested.
