Re: Divorce & Alimony

Alimony is not automatic, is not based on a formula, and is in the discretion of the judge or jury absent agreement. Either party can pay alimony to the other, although alimony does not occur in a majority of divorces.

The entire Georgia code is available from the state of georgia website.
