Georgia is an equitable distribution state, meaning marital assets are divided fairly but not necessarily equally.

Georgia allows both no-fault and fault-based divorce grounds. There is a mandatory 30-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized.

The average attorney rate in Georgia is $270 per hour. An uncontested divorce typically costs $1,500 to $4,500, while a contested divorce can range from $10,000 to $35,000.
