Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Separation Statute of Limitations

There is no statute of limitations applicable to your situation. As long as you have been a resident of GA for at least six months, you can file for divorce one day or two years or ten years after you separate. The procedure is the same in any case. Your husband has to be served with the divorce papers, unless he acknowledges service. For more details, consult with a local attorney.

Re: Separation Statute of Limitations

There is no time limit, but you can't get a divorce without involving your husband. If he agrees to the divorce and the terms of the divorce, you can file an uncontested divorce and it should be pretty simple if you and your husband can truly agree to the terms. If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. Thank you.

Re: Separation Statute of Limitations

There is no such thing as a legal separation notice.

Regardless of whether a person is separated one day or 50 years, all divorces must be served. If the other party is agreeable, they can sign and waive service, or else the sheriff serves them. If a person cannot be found after a dilligent search, published service may be ordered.
