Marital Domestic Law

Marital Domestic Law in Georgia primarily addresses legal matters that arise within a marriage or due to its dissolution, such as divorce, separation, spousal support, and issues related to domestic violence. Key aspects include:

1. Divorce
   Georgia is a "no-fault" divorce state, meaning one can file for divorce without proving the fault of the other party, such as adultery or cruelty. However, specific fault grounds can still be cited.

2. Division of Property
   Georgia follows the "equitable distribution" principle, where marital property is divided fairly, though not necessarily equally.

3. Alimony
   Spousal support may be granted based on the financial circumstances of the parties and the duration of the marriage.

4. Child Custody and Support
   Courts decide child custody based on the best interests of the child and ensure adequate financial support through child support orders.

5. Domestic Violence
   The Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A. § 19-13-1) defines family violence as acts such as battery, assault, stalking, or criminal damage involving family or household members. Victims can seek protective orders and other legal remedies.
