No Fault Divorces GA

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.

Georgia permits 'irreconcilable differences' type of no fault divorces as well as fault divorces. No fault divorce law eliminates requirement of "proof of fault" by providing for the dissolution of a marriage on a finding that the relationship is no longer viable. 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.

In a divorce, you must consider how property and debts will be divided, and who will pay spousal support. If you have children from the marriage, you’ll also need to make decisions about child custody, visitation, and support. Both spouses must either work out these three big issues or turn them over to a judge to decide.
