Re: American married to German - Divorce

A military person CAN file in Georgia if (1) he has been a bona fide legal resident of Georgia for 6 months, or (2) in some cases, if he is a non-resident who has been continuously stationed here for a sufficient he can also file here. I'd need details to determine if there is any other reason not to proceed here, but he may be able to file in Georgia.
