Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Divorce law for Green Card holders

If you have resided in the State of Georgia for at least 6 months, you and your spouse can file under the ground the marriage is irretrievably broken which is the no-fault ground. The divorce should be filed in the county where the defendant resides. However, if the defendant agrees, it can be filed in the county where the plaintiff resides. In this event, the defendant would acknowledge service and execute a waiver of venue. The quickest way to obtain the divorce is to also enter into a written settlement agreement. I hope this helps.
