GEORGIA RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS
FOR DIVORCE
BE SMART-UNDERSTAND
THE LAW
By: Douglas J. Davis
One of the parties must live in
the state of Georgia in order to file for Divorce in this state.
However, the grounds as a general rule do not have to occur in
Georgia. For example, if one of the parties commits adultery in
another state or country you may still file in Georgia as long
as one of the parties is a Georgia resident for at least 6
months.
Military personnel that treat Georgia as their home state may
file in Georgia even even stationed out of the state. If the
ground for divorce occurred in Georgia, you only need currently
live in Georgia at the time you file for divorce. So if you then
move after the filing then Georgia Court can still grant the
divorce if the allegations of divorce are proved.
Generally you should file in the county where the defendant
resides. There are exceptions and you may which to consult with
a lawyer about your specific situation.
