Experienced and Knowledgeable Divorce Lawyer at Your Service

Divorce affects, directly or indirectly, virtually every family in Georgia. In Georgia, the courts view marriage as a civil contract that the state has an interest in preserving. Accordingly, the marriage relationship may be dissolved only as provided by law through a divorce or an annulment; or, a marriage may be altered by a decree of separate maintenance. In any case, there must be a proceeding in the Superior Court, typically in the county where the marital residence is located and, if a divorce is sought, the filing party must meet specific legal requirements before a divorce can be granted.
