Key Insights from the New Georgia Divorce Guide
The guide provides essential clarity on Georgia's divorce statutes, which can significantly impact the legal strategy and outcome of a case:
- Dual System: Georgia is both a no-fault and a fault state. The no-fault ground is "irretrievably broken," which is the most common and simplest path.
- Fault Grounds Exist: The state recognizes 12 fault-based grounds for divorce, including adultery, cruel treatment, and habitual intoxication.
- Impact on Alimony and Property: Proving fault can be strategically important, as it may influence the court's decisions regarding spousal support (alimony) and the division of marital property.
- Residency Requirement: At least one party must be a resident of Georgia for six months before filing for divorce.

Frequently Asked Questions on Georgia Divorce Laws
Q: If Georgia is a no-fault state, why would I ever file on fault grounds?
A: While the "irretrievably broken" no-fault ground is simpler, filing on a fault ground (like adultery or cruel treatment) can be strategically important. Proving fault may positively influence the court's decision on spousal maintenance and property division. Marble Law's experienced Georgia attorneys are matched to your case to help you determine the best legal strategy, ensuring you understand the pros and cons of each filing option.
Q: Does a no-fault divorce mean we don't need a lawyer?
A: Not necessarily. While the grounds for divorce are simpler, you still need to resolve critical issues like child custody, property division, and alimony. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected and the final settlement is fair. With Marble Law's transparent, pay-per-step pricing, you can get the expert legal guidance you need without the fear of unpredictable hourly bills, making quality representation accessible even for no-fault cases.
Q: How long does a divorce take in Georgia?
A: The minimum time is 31 days after the defendant is served, but the actual time varies significantly based on complexity. Cases involving fault grounds or contested issues take much longer. Marble Law's 24/7 digital platform and responsive legal team help streamline the process by ensuring all documentation and communication are handled efficiently, helping to minimize unnecessary delays.
