Re: divorce
You must be separated in Georgia at least one second (there is no waiting period). Since you have moved to Alabama, whether or not you can file in Georgia now depends on facts you failed to post.
Re: divorce
You have to be a resident of the state of georgia for six months before you can file. What county you file in depends on many jurisdictional factors. Generally, you have to file in the county of the defendant.
