About
Custody modification cases can be emotionally complex and legally technical. This class teaches you how to navigate them with structure, clarity, and professionalism. We cover: - The legal standard for modifying custody under Georgia law - What qualifies as a material change in circumstances affecting the child's welfare - How to initiate the case by drafting a Petition for Modification of Custody - How to modify foreign (out-of-state) custody orders, including UCCJEA jurisdiction rules - How to respond by drafting an Answer and Counterclaim for Modification of Custody - When and how to request attorney’s fees By the end of this session, you'll understand not just how to draft the pleadings—but how to manage the legal strategy, communication, and documentation required to successfully modify custody in both Georgia and out-of-state cases. Digital, editable versions of all forms used in this Class are included with your registration — actionable templates your team can implement immediately to streamline drafting, reduce errors, and reinforce what they’ve learned. _______________________________ Want to take it a step further?
