Georgia family law allows for marriages to end with either fault or no-fault divorces, and also allows for self-service divorces that can be finished and filed by the parties on their own. You only have to have the forms and pay the fees to file them, and your divorce is completed. If you are separated for more than six months, (possibly less if there are children involved) you can file for a no-fault divorce in Georgia. Separation (not desertion) is only one of the ways that you can file for a no-fault divorce in Georgia. You can do so by proving that you and your spouse have irreconcilable differences and that there is no hope for saving the marriage. There is another option, of course: the at fault divorce where one party must prove that the marriage should be ended on the basis for one of many causes including: adultery (most common), physical cruelty or other factors.
