Divorce

Divorce in Georgia can be contested, with 12 grounds available, or uncontested as irreconcilable. Additionally, Georgia is a separate and marital property state. This means that any property acquired before the marriage or during the marriage by virtue of gift or inheritance may be considered separate and not subject to division. However, there are many factors that can impact property division, including corporate entities that either spouse may have in interest in. Thus, it is important to seek legal counsel to determine your rights and how the divorce process in Georgia may impact your unique situation.
