Divorce is different from annulment of marriage. Divorce is the dissolution of a marriage contracted between a man and a woman, by the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Divorce is a legal proceeding and is governed by state laws. Every divorce case must go through some kind of court proceeding. Even if both spouses agree about how to divide their property and handle custody, visitation, and support issues, a judge will still have to grant the divorce. In most states, divorce cases, contested and no-fault are handled by a special court generally called “family court,” “domestic relations court,” or “divorce court.” These courts generally deal with only family-related cases such as divorce, child custody and support, and sometimes, adoption.

Divorce has tax implications. An experienced divorce attorney can help you navigate the many tax consequences of a divorce.

Georgia has strict residency requirements for divorce filings. You must live in Georgia for 6 months before you can obtain a divorce. If you live out of state, you may file against a Georgia resident. There is no legal separation period required, and the divorce may be filed on the date of separation. Also, the parties may be considered separated for the purpose of divorce and still live in the same house.
