What, if anything, you get will depend on the judge. That, in turn, will depend on all the facts of your situation. Consult with a local attorney.

At the least, if you have custody of the child, you will get your share of child support. Georgia is a equitable property state. As a result, it is difficult to predict how the property will be divided. As far as alimony is concerned, there are several factors that dictate if a spouse is entitled to alimony. If you the both of you agreed that you would be a housewife, there may be a greater chance of temporary child support.

Therefore, you should interview several local attorneys and select the one who fits your needs and budget. He or she will discuss all the factors in your case and advise you.
