The parents decide who takes care of a child. If the parents can't agree, the court steps in and theoretically decides what is best for the child. If the father has not established paternity legally (supporting the child, having a DNA test done) he may have to prove paternity before being considered by the court. Even if two people are not together, it is better if they get some counseling and advice and learn make joint decisions concerning the child without involving the courts.

I will assume this is not a small goat, but a child. The nature of the question does make one wonder though.

How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
