Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I know where my wife works how do I get home address?

I am trying to get these divorce papers sent out to her but

she keeps giving me fony addresses I know where she works how come they can not give me her address when it is legally important to her to recieve them so she knows to watch for a court date in the mail? Is there any rights I have as her Husband stil to get the address of her house or better yet just a po box or something?

Just have her served at work. If she alleges that she works in a different county from the county of her residence, she will have to reveal her home address.

Re: I know where my wife works how do I get home address?

It sounds like you have made the huge mistake of representing yourself without (1) getting a lawyer's consultation, and (2) researching the law enough to be familiar with what you need to do. Given that you have stumbled on the simplest step, I strongly urge you to get counsel or do significant research before starting. A divorce can be served anywhere you can find your wife, and certainly can be served at work. (It should be filed in the county where she lives unless she waives venue in advance but may be served elsewhere). Serving papers means you have given up on an uncontested case, so if you think you may have an uncontested case, that would be approached differently, as there is no sheriff's service in most uncontested cases.
