Reasons For Divorce

While you may be in a rush to make your divorce final now that you have made the decision, there may be a few steps you need to take before everything is settled. The person filing for divorce must have been a resident of Georgia for, at least, the last six months.

In Georgia, you can either file a no-fault divorce, saying that there was an “irretrievable breakdown” in your compatibility with your partner; or you can file for divorce stating that your partner was at fault. To file for an at-fault divorce, you must prove that your partner engaged in acts that may include:

• Adultery

• Violence

• Desertion for at least one year

The most common form of divorce in Georgia is a no-fault divorce. A no-fault divorce is the fastest way to file since there is only a 30-day waiting period and no additional facts to prove to the court.
