Are you a Georgia parent whose child has been failed by our current system?
We believe that every child deserves meaningful relationships with both parents — and that families in crisis deserve a legal system that is transparent, fair, and accountable.
Too often, Georgia's family courts operate behind closed doors, issue life-altering decisions without explanation, and allow one-sided accusations to sever parent-child bonds without due process. We're here to change that.
We are parents, professionals, and citizens working together to fix a system that too often fails the people it's meant to protect.
Below are some of the core issues we are advocating for — all with one goal in mind: protecting children by protecting their relationships, their rights, and their future.
Rebuttable Presumption of Equal Shared Parenting
Rebuttable Presumption of Equal Shared Parenting
Children thrive when they have strong, consistent relationships with both parents. More than 200 studies from around the world over the past 40+ years support this, and to date there is no scientific consensus against shared parenting.
That’s why we support a legal presumption of equal shared parenting time—starting from a baseline of 50/50 when both parents are fit, willing, and able.
Too often, courts default to one-parent households and treat the other as a visitor. This creates long-term harm to parent-child bonds and often fuels conflict, not resolution.
We believe Georgia should follow the growing number of states advancing equal parenting laws—because every child deserves the love, guidance, and presence of both parents after separation.
Judicial Transparency
Judicial Transparency
Family court decisions affect everything — where a child sleeps, who they grow up with, and which parent becomes a visitor in their life.
Yet in Georgia, judges can issue life-changing custody orders — even temporary ones — without providing a clear explanation of how they reached their decision.
We support a simple principle:
We support a simple principle:
Judges should be required to explain the specific facts and legal reasons behind their custody decisions.
This promotes:
Accountability — Judges must apply the law, not just personal bias.
Clarity — Parents and attorneys can understand what went wrong and how to address it.
Better outcomes — When courts show their work, patterns of inconsistency or unfairness become easier to identify and fix.
If the decision truly serves the child’s best interest, it should be able to stand on paper.
Due Process in Parent-Child Separation
Due Process in Parent-Child Separation
Family courts hold extraordinary power — the power to separate a child from one of their parents. That kind of decision should never be made lightly, and never without both sides being heard.
Yet across Georgia, parents are being cut off from their children through emergency orders, ex parte motions, or protective filings — often without a hearing, evidence, or even notice.
We believe that before a child is separated from a parent, due process must be guaranteed:
A fair and timely hearing
Evidentiary standards for emergency claims
Accountability for bad-faith filings
No child should lose a parent before the truth is even heard.
