Divorce in Georgia is filed in the Superior Court of the county where the defendant resides. Georgia is a no-fault divorce state, meaning irreconcilable differences is sufficient grounds, though fault-based grounds (adultery, desertion, cruel treatment) can affect alimony. Equitable division does not mean 50/50 — the judge divides marital property based on fairness. In the Warner Robins area, military divorce adds complexity around the division of military pensions under the Uniformed Services Former Spouses’ Protection Act and continuation of TRICARE benefits.

FAQ
What is the difference between contested and uncontested divorce in Georgia?
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on all terms. The process is faster (often 45 to 60 days) and cheaper (attorney fees typically $1,500 to $3,500). A contested divorce means one or more issues are in dispute. Contested divorces typically cost $5,000 to $25,000 or more and can take 6 to 18 months.
How is property divided in a Georgia divorce?
Georgia follows equitable distribution, not community property. The judge considers each spouse’s contributions (including homemaking), length of marriage, each spouse’s financial condition, future needs, and any fault. Retirement accounts, real estate, business interests, and debts are all subject to division.
Can I get alimony in Georgia?
Alimony is not guaranteed. Georgia judges consider the length of the marriage, standard of living, each spouse’s earning capacity, age, health, and conduct. Adultery by the requesting spouse can bar alimony entirely.
