One spouse must have stayed in the State of Georgia for 6 months or Georgia should have been the last domicile of the marriage. Spouses must be considered separated in a legal sense prior to filing for a divorce. Parties may be considered separated even if they are staying in the same house if they are not sharing the same room and/or do not engage in a sexual relationship. If there is agreement between the parties, the divorce is considered uncontested. An uncontested divorce may be granted 31 days after the Defendant is served with the Divorce Petition. If there is disagreement as to any matter, the divorce will be obtained when the case reaches the court, which can take several months.

Parties may be able to reach an agreement resolving all issues arising from the marriage, such as finances, division of property, and child custody and visitation of children. The agreement is submitted to the Court as a Marital Settlement Agreement and, upon approval, made an order of the Court. The Courts order, called a Final Judgment and Decree, concludes the lawsuit. However, the parties cannot reach an agreement, the issues will be resolved by the Judge or the jury. However, a judge always determines matters of custody and visitation.
