Another busy year concludes at the Gold Dome.

Georgia House Bill 177, from the 2025 legislative session, made significant strides in family law.  This legislation aims to enhance protections for victims of domestic violence by extending safeguards to household pets, within both family violence and dating violence protective orders. This important step recognizes the bond between victims and their pets, ensuring a safer environment for all.

Senate Bill 245 seeks to expand the category of persons who may seek to revoke or amend existing grandparent visitation orders.  It specifically addresses intervention, revocation, amendment of visitation rights, appointment of guardian ad litem, meditation, hearing, and notification to family members of child's participation in events, so as to include grandparents within the category of persons who may seek to revoke or amend an existing grandparent visitation order, in cases where the parent of a minor child is deceased, incapacitated, incarcerated.
