Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Living out of state

The only jurisdictional requirement for you to petition a Florida court for a divorce is that one of the spouses has been a continuous resident of Florida for at least six months. Six months of residency will not give the Florida court personal jurisdiction over your Wife, and therefore, the court will not be able to determine any property issues. If division of property is not a concern, and you stated that you had no children together, then you should be able to get divorce in Florida.

Re: Living out of state

You will need to file for divorce in the county where you wife lives. Please contact my firm in the event that you desire to pursue this. Barring any unforseen developments, the circumstances that you describe indicate that your divorce can probably be achieved fairly rapidly for reasonable fees.
