Divorce Attorney Richmond County Georgia
Marriage is a civil contract that the state has an interest in preserving. Accordingly, the marriage relationship may be dissolved only as provided by law through (1) a divorce or (2) an annulment; or altered by (3) a decree of separate maintenance granted by our courts. In any case, there must be a proceeding in the superior court of the county in which the defendant resides (or the county where the parties resided during the marriage if the defendant left the county within six months before filing) and the person seeking the divorce must prove grounds for divorce (valid reasons prescribed by law).
Georgia has strict residency requirement in divorce proceedings. If you DO NOT meet at least one of the residency requirements, you have the following options:
• Establish residency in Georgia for the period time set forth above (this does not mean you have to wait to begin the process of getting your documents).
• Have your spouse do the filing if he or she meets the Georgia residency requirements.
• Choose another state in which you or your spouse meet the requirements (all states are unique, so be sure to check the state in which you were married as an option).
