The marital settlement agreement will set out your agreements about how you’ll split your property and debts, describe whether and how much spousal support (alimony) will change hands, and detail your arrangements for child support, custody, and visitation. You must consider the following when drawing up a marital settlement agreement:
a) developing a parenting plan that deals with custody, visitation, child support, and all other questions involving your children
b) dividing up your property and debts, including your family home, cars, personal items, financial accounts, and amounts you owe
c) deciding whether either of you will pay spousal support (alimony) to the other and if so, how much
If you have signed a marital settlement agreement, you’ll either need to submit the entire agreement to the court. Your final divorce judgment will state that the marital settlement agreement is incorporated into the judgment. This means that the terms of the settlement agreement will have the force of a judge’s order.
Just as every state has a residency requirement before you can file for divorce, each state also has a waiting period before your divorce can be made final. Georgia law has set specific residency requirements for filing a divorce petition in a court in Georgia. One spouse must have lived in the state of Georgia for 6 months or Georgia must have been the last domicile of the marriage. The residency requirements are provided in the Georgia Code Sections.
