Seeking a Divorce in Georgia?

In Georgia, when you file for a divorce and there are details your attorney will need to know as you complete the process. Your divorce will be filed as contested or uncontested. 

• Contested Divorce: In a contested divorce, you and your spouse cannot agree on the main terms of the dissolution, so a judge or a jury settles the unresolved issues. 
• Uncontested Divorce: In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse agree on the main terms of the dissolution. An uncontested divorce is less time-consuming and less expensive. 

When seeking a divorce, the main terms of the divorce include: 

• Custody
• Visitation
• Child support
• Health insurance
• Alimony
• Property division
• Attorney fees

Once you know you are ready to file for divorce in Georgia, you should meet with a family law attorney to seek guidance on how to proceed. In Georgia, there is no required separation period before you can file for divorce. You can file for divorce even if you still live with your spouse. However, once you file for divorce, you must remain in a ‘bonified state of separation.’ In plain English, that means that if you have sex with your spouse after filing for divorce then your case will be dismissed by the judge, and you will have to re-file the divorce and start the entire process over.

Help Resolving the Big Issues in Your Georgia Divorce?

Getting divorced is the legal separation of a couple’s financial issues and joint interests. For many couples, getting a divorce is difficult because separating assets and sharing children isn’t naturally easy. 

Some of the most contentious issues include: 

Child Custody, Visitation, & Support: Sharing the children after a marriage has ended can be one of the more challenging post-divorce requirements. Couples may find they need to complete rounds of negotiation to reach custody, visitation, and support plans. Couples must determine which parent will serve as the custodial parent and how custody determinations will impact support requirements. In Georgia, child support is based on a calculation created using parents’ shared incomes.

 Property Division: Dividing marital assets is complicated – especially for couples with many high-value assets. Georgia uses equitable division to divide marital assets fairly. Property is allocated between spouses, and while the final division won’t be equal, it will be fair to each party. Most marital assets are considered joint property, which must be divided equitably. Exceptions typically apply to inheritances, personal gifts, and assets protected by prenuptial agreements.

 Alimony: Spousal support, also referred to as alimony, is a payment made to financially dependent spouses unable to support themselves post-marriage. Typically, spousal support is awarded for a reason, for example, if one party sacrificed a career to support their spouse’s career. Alimony payments are becoming less common as more spouses are equally employed.
