Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Legal Separation

I am not sure what you mean by "separation papers" since in Georgia there really isn't such a thing. I am going to assume you mean divorce papers.

To obtain a divorce in Georgia you must remain separated (meaning no sexual relations) from PRIOR to the filing of the divorce until the date the judge signs a decree. Sex is considered a reconciliation, and terminates a divorce. It also may condone past fault grounds for a divorce.

This sounds like you are trying to do a divorce without a lawyer (not a good idea especially given your question).

Re: Legal Separation

Your relations could be construed as a reconciliation, which would terminate the divorce proceeding.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

The foregoing is general information only, not specific legal advice. No attorney/client relation has been created or should be implied.
