Supervised visitation across DeKalb County

DeKalb is Georgia's fourth most-populous county — more than 760,000 residents — and stretches from the airport-side communities of South DeKalb up through Atlanta-adjacent Decatur, Druid Hills, and Avondale Estates, into Brookhaven, Chamblee, Dunwoody, and out toward Stone Mountain in the east.

TruVisit Atlanta supervisors meet DeKalb families at locations close to where the child lives. We don't charge mileage and we don't operate from a single fixed office.

The Superior Court of DeKalb County

DeKalb County family law cases are heard at the DeKalb County Courthouse at 556 N. McDonough Street in Decatur — one block from Decatur Square. The Family Division handles divorce, paternity, custody, parenting time, and modification matters for the entire county.

Our reports are formatted in the objective, non-editorial, timestamped style that DeKalb Superior Court expects.
