Georgia Custody: What You Need to Know

Georgia courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child.

Key factors include:

Each parent’s ability to provide a stable home
Work schedules and involvement in the child’s daily life
The child’s preference (age 14 or older may choose)
History of caregiving and any past misconduct

Bill Elliott helps you present the strongest case — through clear documentation, strong negotiation, and, when needed, decisive courtroom advocacy.

Rooted in Community, Dedicated to Defense

I’m William Elliott, a lifelong advocate for the Covington community and surrounding areas.

Unlike big-city firms that come and go, my roots — and my commitment — are right here in

Newton County.

After earning my B.A. in Political Science from Franklin & Marshall College and my J.D. from Thomas M. Cooley Law School, I began practicing law in 1993. Since then, i’ve been honored to serve as a member of both the State Bar of Georgia and the State Bar of Illinois, as well as the Georgia Court of Appeals and Northern District of Georgia.

For more than two decades, I’ve built my practice in Covington with one goal: to serve families and individuals with honesty, compassion, and strong legal advocacy. My experience as a Juvenile Court Judge in Newton County gave me firsthand insight into how family and youth issues truly affect our community.

Today, I draw on that perspective to guide clients through family law, criminal defense, and juvenile cases with practical solutions and personal attention. If you’re looking for a local attorney who understands both the law and the people behind it, I’m here to help protect what matters most to you.
