The process

How Online Divorce Works in Georgia

Four simple steps from your couch to your final decree — no courthouse visits required until you file.

1

Check your eligibility

Answer a few questions to confirm you qualify. Uncontested means both spouses agree on property, debts, and child matters.

2

Complete the questionnaire

A guided online form collects everything needed — child custody, alimony, asset division, and more. Takes about 30–60 minutes.

3

Receive your Georgia forms

Court-ready Georgia-specific divorce documents land in your account within 2 business days. Review at your own pace.

4

File with your county court

Follow the included step-by-step filing instructions to submit to your Georgia Superior Court. You file directly — no attorney needed.

Georgia-specific rules

Georgia Divorce Requirements You Need to Know

Georgia has specific residency and filing rules. Here’s what you need before starting your paperwork.

📍

Residency Requirement — 6 Months

At least one spouse must have lived in Georgia for a minimum of 6 months before filing. You do not need to have been married in Georgia.

🏛️

Where to File — Your County Superior Court

You file with the Superior Court in the county where you currently reside. Georgia has 159 counties — the service provides county-specific instructions.

📋

Grounds — No-Fault Available

Georgia allows no-fault divorce based on “irreconcilable differences” — neither party needs to prove wrongdoing. This is the standard route for uncontested cases.

⏱️

Waiting Period — 30 Days Minimum

Georgia has a mandatory 30-day waiting period after the divorce petition is filed before a final decree can be granted. Simple cases can finalize in 45–90 days total.

👨‍👩‍👧

Cases with Children — Fully Supported

The online service handles all child-related documents — parenting plans, custody arrangements, child support calculations, and parenting time schedules.

🏠

Property & Debt Division — Included

Real estate, vehicles, retirement accounts, and shared debts are all addressed in the questionnaire. Complex asset cases are supported.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Georgia Online Divorce

Is online divorce in Georgia actually legal and court-approved?

Yes. OnlineDivorce.com prepares the official Georgia Superior Court forms required by law — the same forms you’d get from an attorney or a self-help legal center. The service doesn’t file for you (unless you upgrade to Platinum); it prepares your documents. You file them yourself at your county Superior Court, and the court processes them the same as any other filing. The documents are court-ready and state-specific.

What does “uncontested divorce” mean — do we have to agree on everything upfront?

Uncontested means both spouses reach agreement before the divorce is finalized — not necessarily before you start your paperwork. Many couples use the questionnaire process itself to work through the details together. You’ll need to agree on property division, any debt, child custody, support, and parenting arrangements. If you ultimately can’t agree on a major issue, a trial court would need to decide — at which point an attorney becomes necessary.

What’s the real total cost? I saw something about $39.99/month.

The one-time fee is $199 for 30 days of full document access. After 30 days, the account automatically renews at $39.99/month until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from your account profile — there’s no penalty and no phone call required. The vast majority of users complete their documents within the initial 30-day window. We disclose this upfront because other affiliates don’t — and you deserve to know before you start. Still, $199 (or even $199 + one $39.99 renewal) is a fraction of attorney fees.

How do I file after I get my documents? Do I need to go to court?

Your completed documents come with detailed step-by-step filing instructions specific to your Georgia county. You’ll file at your county Superior Court — either in person or by mail in most counties. You typically won’t have a court hearing for an uncontested case. Georgia requires a 30-day waiting period after filing before the judge can sign the final decree. If you prefer to have someone else file for you, the optional $399 Platinum Filing Service handles that.

We were married in another state — can we still file for divorce in Georgia?

Yes. Where you were married doesn’t matter. What matters is where you currently live. As long as at least one spouse has lived in Georgia for 6 or more months, you can file for divorce here under Georgia law — regardless of the state or country where the marriage took place.

Can I use this service if we have a business, retirement accounts, or a home?

Yes — the questionnaire covers division of real estate, vehicles, retirement accounts (including QDRO guidance), business interests, and shared debt. As long as both spouses agree on how to divide these assets, the service can prepare the necessary documents. If there’s a major dispute about a high-value asset that can’t be resolved, that’s when you’d need a family law attorney to litigate.
