In Georgia, you can use a fault-based divorce. This may require you to demonstrate that your spouse was at fault and caused the end of the marriage. One example could be if you discovered that they have committed adultery, so you are filing for divorce specifically because they have been unfaithful.
But do you have to prove that your spouse did something wrong? Maybe you are unhappy with the marriage, but there is no evidence of things like adultery, abuse or abandonment. You just want to be done with the relationship, similar to how you would break up with a boyfriend or girlfriend if you became unsatisfied being with them. But since you are married, does this make things harder, and are you required to prove your spouse did something wrong so that you can exit the marriage?
No-fault divorce
While you can use a fault-based divorce in Georgia, you can also use a no-fault divorce. All that is required is that you show that the marriage is irretrievably damaged due to irreconcilable differences between the two of you.
This does not mean that you or your spouse have technically done anything wrong. You just do not see eye to eye on certain issues, and there is no way to resolve them. You do not see any path forward where the relationship can return to the way that it was before, so you would like to end it and move on with your life.
In many ways, a no-fault divorce is simpler than a fault-based divorce, but it can still be complex as you sort through the details of property division, child custody and more. Take the time to carefully look into your legal options.
