Divorce in Savannah Georgia

A divorce formally dissolves a legal marriage. Divorce in United States is governed by state law. Generally certain residency requirements must be fulfilled before a divorce petition can be filed. There are three types of divorce:
• Absolute Divorce – a judicial termination of a marriage based on marital misconduct or other statutory cause arising after the marriage ceremony in which both parties’ status becomes single again.
• Limited Divorce – commonly referred to as a separation decree. Several state laws authorize limited divorces. In a limited divorce, the right to cohabitation is terminated but the marriage is undissolved and the status of the parties is not altered.
• No Fault Divorce – No fault divorce law eliminates requirement of “proof of fault” by providing for the dissolution of a marriage on a finding that the relationship is no longer viable.
Following a divorce, the court must divide the property between the spouses. A court can order one spouse to pay alimony. There are three types of alimony:
• Permanent alimony – the paying spouse continues till death or until the spouse receiving payments remarries.
• Temporary alimony – the payments are made over a short interval of time so that the receiving spouse can stand alone once again.
• Rehabilitative alimony – is paid to help a spouse with lesser employability or earning capacity becomes adjusted to a new post-marital life.

If the couple had children together while married, the court may require one spouse to pay child support to the spouse with custody.
