Shawn P. Hammond Law provides parents in the Evans and Augusta, GA area with unparalleled legal guidance as a child custody lawyer. Attorney Hammond appreciates how challenging it is to go through a divorce, and the fact that those challenges are amplified ten times over when there also children to consider. Sometimes in such situations the parties involved cannot come to an agreement regarding child care and the court must get involved. A legal custody order will determine who will be responsible for and have authority over how a child is raised. Our child custody lawyer will see to it that your wishes for this order are met.

There are two aspects to custody and it is important to understand the difference. Physical custody refers to the right to have a child live with you, while legal custody refers to the right to make decisions about a child's schooling, religious upbringing, and medical care. Often, what is known as joint custody is awarded, in which both parents share these rights. This would mean that they each have a say when it comes to decision-making and that they split the amount of time spent with the child.
