First of all, let me stress that you need a lawyer. Even the question you just asked is complex, and a small misstep can mess you up.

Where you got married is irrelevant.

Where you moved also probably is irrelevant.

First of all, at least one party must have lived in Georgia for six months.

If both parties are in Georgia, you would file where the OTHER party lives, unless (a) the other party signs a venue waiver in which case you file where you live, or (b) if you have a child together, the answer may be different than any of the above, depending on where the child is and has been.

But again, whatever you do, do not file pro se. (And if you were thinking "I have forms", even on the venue issue you may not, as no court in Georgia has a venue waiver form).
