The word "divorce" conjures up a lot of different images and thoughts from people. From a legal and court perspective, however, there are only four major aspects of a divorce: Child Custody, Child Support, Alimony, and Equitable Division.

Considering Divorce, The Divorce Process

Often times in a divorce, the most complex and contested issue between the parents is the issue of child custody.

Keeping Custody

In Georgia, it is the responsibility of both parents to provide for the maintenance, protection and education of their minor children.

Child Support

Alimony may be granted in Georgia in cases of divorce. O.C.G.A. §19-6-4. As there are several financial aspects of divorce, many are often unsure how alimony, equitable division and child support are to be distinguished.

Alimony

One of the most complicated areas of divorce in Georgia is the division of marital property. In Georgia, each spouse is entitled to an equitable share of all marital property acquired during the marriage upon divorce.
