Mack v. State

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s order awarding the parents joint legal custody, granting the mother primary placement in Georgia, and permitting her relocation. Although the Family Court improperly treated the child’s relationship with relatives and household members as neutral rather than favoring the father, that error did not affect the custody and relocation determination because the court properly considered the statutory best-interest factors and gave significant weight to the evidence concerning domestic violence and the father’s prior request to reduce visitation.
