Divorce Law
Georgia permits 'irreconcilable differences' type of no fault divorces as well as fault divorces.  You must live in Georgia for 6 months before you can obtain a divorce. If you live out of state, you may file against a Georgia resident. There is no legal separation period required, and the divorce may be filed on the date of separation. Also, the parties may be considered separated for the purpose of divorce and still live in the same house.
