A Glimpse Into Georgia Divorce

There are many issues that come into play when you choose to divorce. You will have to resolve either with your spouse or in court issues pertaining to:

• Property division
• Debt division
• Business valuation
• High net worth assets
• Alimony
• Custody
• Child support
• Modifications
• And more!

If you and your spouse can come to a mutual resolution on these issues, you are dealing with an uncontested divorce. If your divorce is uncontested, you are more likely to save time, money, and stress; you will not have to go to court or submit to a decision by a judge. This type of divorce can take as little time as just a few months.

On other hand, you might have a contested divorce. If there is one or more issues on which you and your spouse cannot agree, you are likely to have to go to court to come to a resolution. Contested divorces are generally more complex, cost more money, and take more time to resolve – in some cases, more than a year. However, if there is something you feel is worth fighting for, our Turin divorce lawyers will advocate for you every step of the way.

Georgia and No-Fault Divorce 

In Georgia, you need to submit a reason you are ending your marriage from a list of thirteen legally approved grounds for divorce. Georgia is a no-fault divorce state, so you do not have to prove that there was wrongdoing within your marriage in order to access divorce. You can simply cite the thirteenth reason, which accounts for irreconcilable differences.

However, there are circumstances in which you can allege fault within your marriage. If you are divorcing due to issues such as abandonment, adultery, addiction, or some other reason, you can cite these faults to ask for a more favorable resolution from a judge. If the court finds that your claims have credence, they might award you a higher portion of the marital assets, more child custody, or alimony.

For example, if your spouse has a gambling addiction and you can prove that they have lost joint funds due to their addiction, you might be granted a more favorable asset share. Each divorce situation is different and each client has different needs, which is why we endeavor to get to know you so we can fight for the settlement you deserve.
