Since there is no such thing in Georgia, I'm not quite sure how to respond.

In Georgia there are no legal separations. You can seek a divorce and you certainly should get a lawyer for that. (Georgia does have a unique and rarely used provision for separate maintenance and you also should see a lawyer if you are considering that).

Since your post lacks details, please feel free to call my office.

Well, you don't HAVE to have a lawyer, just as I don't HAVE to use a mechanic to fix my car. I am free to get under the hood and mess around, knowing full well that I will probably do more harm than good. Advice: Consult with lawyer.
