Answers & resources
Frequently asked questions
An uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 31 days after filing. Contested divorces often take six months to more than a year depending on issues involving property division, child custody, and support.
Georgia courts determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. Judges consider factors such as each parent's involvement, stability, ability to meet the child's needs, and the child's preferences if they are at least 11 years old.
The cost of a divorce in Georgia varies widely. An uncontested divorce may cost a few thousand dollars, while a contested divorce involving custody or significant assets can cost substantially more depending on complexity and litigation.
No. Georgia is an equitable distribution state, not a community property state. Courts divide marital property fairly, which does not necessarily mean equally.
Georgia uses an income shares model to calculate child support. The court considers both parents' incomes, parenting time, health insurance costs, childcare expenses, and other factors to determine support obligations.
Instead of legal separation, Georgia spouses may seek separate maintenance, which allows the court to address issues such as support, custody, and property without ending the marriage.
