Re: divorce jurisdiction

I'm not sure that I understand your question. Assuming that one of you has lived in Georgia for six months a divorce can be filed in Georgia.

Re: divorce jurisdiction

Generally, the answer will be yes, so long as the jurisdictional requirements of the "other" state are satisfied.

If you need any additional information, you can visit our family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com).

Good luck,
