FAQ: Divorce in Georgia

What grounds does Georgia recognize for divorce?

Georgia permits both fault-based and no-fault divorces. The most common grounds include irreconcilable differences (no-fault) or adultery/abandonment (fault-based).

How long does divorce take in Georgia?

While uncontested divorces may resolve in 45-60 days, complex cases often take 6-12 months.

Can I get alimony in Georgia?

Courts consider factors like marriage duration, earning potential, and lifestyle standards. Temporary support during proceedings is common.

How is property divided?

Georgia uses equitable distribution, meaning assets are divided fairly (not necessarily equally).

Do I need separate counsel if using mediation?

Yes – even in mediation, legal representation ensures your rights remain protected.
