You may sometimes get a default divorce. The court will grant a divorce by “default” if you file for divorce and your spouse doesn’t respond to the petition despite proper service. In a default divorce, the divorce is granted even though your spouse doesn’t participate in the court proceedings at all.

Georgia offers the option of “no-fault” divorce. In a no-fault divorce, you need that prove that your spouse is to blame, you merely tell the court that you and your spouse have “irreconcilable differences” or have suffered an “irremediable breakdown” of your relationship.

1. Intermarriage by persons within the prohibited degrees of consanguinity or affinity;

3. Impotency;
4. Duress, or fraud in obtaining the marriage;
5. Pregnancy of the wife by a man other than the husband, at the time of the marriage, unknown to the husband;
6. Adultery - Adultery in Georgia includes heterosexual and homosexual relations between one spouse and another individual.
