How to File for Divorce in Georgia?

If you want to dissolve your marriage in the state of Georgia, you have to follow these guidelines:

1. Prepare and notarize a divorce petition - with or without children, depending on whether you have kids with your spouse.
2. If you compose the documentation alongside your husband and wife, you can disclose your income, property, and liabilities in formal affidavits. In case you have children, determine the proper co-parenting plan and establish the child support - all the arrangements you have made should be negotiated and outlined in written statements.
3. Fill out a Georgia Divorce Agreement and obtain a notary seal for the document that must be submitted to the superior court. After that, you need to notify the other spouse about the intention to divorce with the help of a divorce petition even if you have already mentioned your plans to them - it is recommended to ask a sheriff to serve the documentation so that the service is properly acknowledged.
4. The recipient of the petition will have thirty days to compose a response agreeing or disagreeing with the matters listed in the document. The judge will examine the petition and the response to it to figure out whether the conditions are satisfactory for the couple and the children - you will receive a divorce decree confirming you are no longer married.
