Custody cases can take time, and waiting to address the situation may only delay the time you want with your children. If your current custody arrangement is not working, you are being denied parenting time, or you need a formal custody order in place, starting the legal process sooner can make a difference. The court process does not happen overnight, but taking the first step today can help you begin working toward a more stable arrangement for you and your children. If you have questions about custody or parenting time in Georgia, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options and what steps may come next. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaFamilyLaw #ChildCustody #ParentingTime #CustodyCase #CoParenting10m

About us
I became an attorney because I believe everyone deserves someone in their corner when the stakes are highest, and after 20+ years, that belief still drives everything I do. I'm the founding attorney of Tessie D. Edwards & Associates, P.C., a Georgia firm built on two practices I'm passionate about: family law and criminal defense. On any given day, I might be helping a parent fight for custody or standing beside someone whose freedom is on the line. What connects those moments is a person facing one of the hardest chapters of their life, who needs an advocate who'll fight fiercely and honestly for them. I believe great legal work and genuine care belong together. Honored to be recognized by Super Lawyers and rated 10.0 on Avvo and Justia. Facing a family or criminal matter in Atlanta? Let's talk.

When co parenting gets difficult, the focus should stay on the child. Disliking your ex is not the same as being prevented from parenting. But if you are constantly being blocked from seeing your child, participating in education, making healthcare decisions, or being involved in important parts of their life, it may be time to consider legal action. You should not have to repeatedly ask for permission to be an involved parent. If your current arrangement is preventing you from parenting the way you should, TDE Family Law can help you understand whether court intervention may be necessary. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaFamilyLaw #FathersRights #ChildCustody #CoParenting

Is your current parenting plan no longer working? In Georgia, you may be able to request a modification of custody or make changes to specific details of the parenting plan. But the key question is whether the change is in the best interest of the child. Conflict between parents, disagreements with a new partner, or frustration with the current arrangement may not be enough on their own to change custody. Sometimes smaller adjustments, such as changing pickup locations or other parenting plan details, may be more appropriate without changing custody itself. If your current parenting plan needs to be revisited, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaFamilyLaw #ChildCustody #ParentingPlan #CustodyModification

What happens to a business during a divorce in Georgia? The answer depends on the type of business and the circumstances surrounding it. In some cases, the business itself may not be divided directly, but that does not necessarily mean the other spouse walks away with nothing. There may be other ways to account for the value or equity built during the marriage, including alimony or a lump sum payment. Every situation is different, especially when a business is involved. If you are going through a divorce and have questions about business ownership or division, TDE Family Law can help you understand your options. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaDivorce #BusinessAssets #PropertyDivision #GeorgiaFamilyLaw #CoupleBusiness #MaritalBusiness

What is the difference between legal custody and physical custody? Legal custody refers to who has the authority to make important decisions for the child, including decisions about education, medical care, and extracurricular activities. Physical custody refers to where the child lives and who has the child in their care at a given time. Understanding the difference matters because each type of custody affects your rights and responsibilities as a parent. If you have questions about custody in Georgia, TDE Family Law can help you understand what applies to your situation. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaFamilyLaw #ChildCustody #LegalCustody #PhysicalCustody

How long does a divorce take in Georgia? It depends. An uncontested divorce can sometimes be finalized relatively quickly when both parties agree on all the terms. A contested divorce, however, can take much longer depending on issues like evidence, discovery, property, custody, and how willing both sides are to reach a resolution. Sometimes the biggest factor is not the complexity of the case. It is the level of conflict between the parties. If you are considering divorce in Georgia, TDE Family Law can help you understand what to expect and guide you through the process. #TDEFamilyLaw #GeorgiaDivorce #DivorceAttorney #FamilyLaw #GeorgiaFamilyLaw
