Hi, I'm Dave Ward from the Ward Law Firm.

And sometimes, families can find themselves in a situation where they have either nieces, nephews or more commonly grandchildren who are in a situation where their parents are not properly taking care of them. And the children, as a result of that, are in some sort of immediate threat of either physical or psychological harm.

In those instances, Georgia Law does allow certain third parties. Those being grandparents and certain other blood relatives, like aunts and uncles, to seek custody from the parents of the child.

In those instances, there are certain presumptions that apply and that must be overcome before party can prevail on that sort of an action. And those presumptions are number one, that a parent is a fit and proper parent. That's one of the presumptions that applies.

The second presumption is that fit parents make decisions that are in the best interest of their children.

And our third presumption, is that it is in the child's best interest that the parent have custody.

In a situation where those presumptions can be rebutted, in order for the third party, which is the other grand prawner or one of these blood relatives that we discussed to gain custody, the trial court has to determine that the child would suffer either long term emotional or psychological harm or would suffer physical harm by the continuation of parental custody.

The fact that it simply might happen is not sufficient under those circumstances.

So, if you have any other questions about third party custody, if you have a child that you're concerned about and want to learn more contact us today. Remember I'm Dave Ward from the Ward Law Firm and we protect business owners who are facing divorce.

Hi, I'm Dave Ward from the Ward Law Firm.

And one of the things that I want to let you all know is we take what we do very, very seriously at the Ward Law Firm and we have certain core beliefs here that we operate by and that govern the decisions that we make, how we handle things, etcetera.

And one that I wanted to talk about, because I'm particularly passionate about it, it's that sure to Ward Law Firm, we protect children.

All too often, we see situations where parties are using children as pawns to try and manipulate the other party to hurt the other party. And those types of actions cause immense psychological harm to children. We take that sort of behavior extraordinarily seriously.

Number one: We don't engage in those types of things. We simply refuse to do that. Children are not pawns in the divorce setting. They are usually unintended victims of the circumstances.

One of the things that we will do, in any case where children are involved, is we're gonna use everything at our disposal, within the realm of the law to protect children from those types of behaviors from other parties.

So, again, we do have a number of core values but I wanted to share that one with you because it's one that I am particularly, particularly committed to and feel very, very passionately about.

So, if you have any other questions or want to learn more about or need the Ward Law Firm, give us a call. I'm Dave Ward from the Ward Law Firm and we protect children.
