The timeline varies, but an uncontested divorce can be finalized in as little as 31 days after filing. A contested divorce can take several months or longer, depending on disputes over property, custody, or other issues.

No. Georgia allows for both fault-based and no-fault divorces. In a no-fault divorce, you simply state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.”

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree on all issues, including asset division and child custody. A contested divorce occurs when disagreements require court intervention.

Georgia follows the principle of "equitable distribution," meaning marital property is divided fairly, though not necessarily equally.

In an uncontested divorce, you may not have to appear in court. In a contested case, court hearings or a trial may be necessary.

Georgia uses an income shares model, considering both parents' incomes, the number of children, and other expenses such as healthcare and childcare.

Yes. If there is a substantial change in income, employment status, or the child’s needs, a parent can request a modification.

Generally, Child support typically continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever comes later. However, the parties can agree upon alternative options.

The non-paying parent may face wage garnishment, tax refund interception, license suspension, or even jail time.

Yes. Federal and state laws ensure child support orders are enforceable across state lines.

The court considers the best interests of the child, including each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, the child’s needs, and in some cases, the child’s preference (if they are 11 or older).

Children aged 11 and older can express a preference, but the court ultimately decides based on the child’s best interests. At 14, a child’s preference is given more weight, but a judge can still override it if necessary.

Legal custody refers to decision-making authority over the child’s upbringing, while physical custody determines where the child lives. Both can be shared or granted solely to one parent.

Yes. If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as relocation or a change in the child’s needs, a parent can request a modification.

The violating parent may face legal consequences, including contempt of court, fines, or even a change in custody arrangements.
