Under O.C.G.A. §19-9-1.1, parents may agree to binding arbitration of any child custody issue. Such issues may include disputes regarding visitation rights, parenting plans, or parenting time.
Parents are able to select which issues they will decide in arbitration. They also have the right to choose the arbiter. A court will not overturn an arbitration decision unless it explicitly finds that the decision is not in the best interests of the child or children.
