Residency Requirements For Divorce In Georgia

Divorce is regulated by state law. Georgia has strict residency requirements for divorce filings. You must meet the residency requirements if you want to file for divorce in Georgia.

At the beginning of the divorce process, the spouses need to come up with a temporary agreement about how they will share time with the children. The spouses should do that as quickly as they can. This will ease the children’s insecurity. Whatever is decided between the spouses must be written down. This arrangement is generally temporary and not something for the long haul. It may take a while to figure out what long-term arrangement works best.

If there are children from the marriage, chances are that one of the spouses will pay child support to the other. When the children spend more time with one parent than the other, or if one parent earns a lot more money, the court will award child support to make sure that the kids are always taken care of. In some divorces, courts award alimony or maintenance, to one spouse. Alimony is especially likely after a long marriage or if one spouse gave up career plans to support the other spouse or care for kids.
