you mentioned a "brief statement" regarding the trauma counseling, however the opposing partie's false allegations against me of making up medical symptoms to doctors for my child's illnesses (which an abuse expert confirmed were valid illnesses but possibly the symptoms were not as severe as reported, but the expert could not show anywhere in the reviewed medical records where that was ever stated) I was able to see after the hearing and finalized report from the child abuse expert that the opposing party made a statement that was added to the child's medical records against myself telling medical staff that I make up symptoms of illness. that is the only thing in the child's medical record that states that. I want to be able to explain in my motion for emergency custody to a new judge who may have concerns, why this happened in the first place. and also that the opposing party has threatened to make more similar false allegations against me if I file this motion. how can I add this explanation or should I leave it out

can I use a font size larger than * (possibly *) and can I use bold print for the section titles and use a possible * size font for emphasis
Hi Kim,
In Georgia Superior Court, it's generally accepted to use a *-point font size for legal documents. While you can use bold print for section titles, it's best to avoid a font size larger than * for the main text to ensure compliance with court formatting rules. For emphasis, you may use bold or underlined text but keep the font size at * points.
