Georgia is a state that can get a little bit tricky also when it comes to divorce, as Alaska can, both seem to have certain rules in the divorce, that does make it a little harder for the divorce itself. Maybe that is to help some marriages to be saved, with therapy and counseling, who knows, or to stop people for thinking divorce is just an easy way out of not liking a certain situation, but what ever it is, Georgia holds a little bit harder rules for divorce. Divorce in Georgia is referred to as a petition for divorce, and you must live in Georgia and be a resident for at least 6 months to get a divorce, that is the easy part. In Georgia you can not get a divorce and say it was a wrong doing, in Georgia to get a divorce, BOTH spouses must be in agreement of the divorce, WHEN the papers are filed and served, see that's when the divorce process will legally begin, when the papers are served, but if the spouse is not in agreement you CAN NOT get a divorce, and so you must PROVE one of the following to receive a divorce.
