Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

She says she wont give me a divorce

I have been married for 6 years, unhappily for 5 1/2. I have asked for a divorce for the last 4 years but she says she will never divorce me. We have no shared assets, no shared debts, no children.

my wife has a daughter who is 9 who lives her mother, from a previous relationship. She see's her daughter by her choice 2 or so times a month.

I have not adopted this child.

my wife is on probation for forging perscriptions for a class 3 drug.

She is currently living in an extended stay hotel, even though here mother has asked her to come back.

I finally moved out and back to nyc. she is in atlanta ga.

She is adamant about NEVER divorcing me.

How do I get a divorce.

and can I do it without going back to atlanta.

You hire a lawyer (and you probably do have to travel to Atlanta although that depends on things not in your post).
