Divorce is a legal process and all the rules and regulations related to filing it must be followed. Getting GA divorce usually starts with the court approval. The divorcing spouses must be legal residents of Georgia state, and they should file for divorce under two possible conditions:

1. "No fault," is a ground where you only have to prove that the marriage is irretrievably broken, or
2. "Fault," is a ground covering most of the factors like - adultery, cruelty, mental health problem, impotency, drug addiction or imprisonment.

Divorce includes issues related with separation of the spouses. All such issues are handled by the family law professional or the lawyer specializing in that field. Interests of both the spouses are considered during a divorce process. Getting GA divorce can be a difficult time for the whole family.

Georgia sate follows no-fault divorce, which means that the states don’t need reasons for divorce. The spouses can simply mention the irreconcilable differences in the marriage. The courts try to make the process as simple as possible for both the spouses.

Getting GA divorce is possible without a lawyer itself, incase your divorce is uncontested. It means that both the spouses agree to the divorce terms. Get the appropriate forms that you will have to file with the local court or the county’s court where you are residing. There are different websites online that can help you in getting the divorce forms, for which you need to spend very less. I-CAN website has all the forms available for free.

• Once you have filled out the forms, take out the print and sign them. Make sure you sign it in front of the notary public. Most banks have public notary available. If you cannot find the notary public, search one at the court.
• File your petition for divorce to your Clerk of the Court office of your county, where you are filling your case. Pay the appropriate filing fees which is around 80.00 ??? in the state of Georgia. Make sure you mention all the information in detail and maintain proper format in the petition form.
