A GA divorce or dissolution of marriage, can be filed by either party to terminate the marital relationship. Upon completion of a GA divorce, the spouses are restored back to single status. The judge may also issue any required orders for child support and custody, alimony and the division of community and separate properties and debts.

There are currently no provisions for a simplified divorce in GA. A general divorce must be filed on either no fault grounds or on fault grounds.

A separation can be filed by a married individual desiring to maintain the marriage but physically separate and try to sort any problems in the marriage.

An annulment is sought in order to nullify the marriage and discontinue its existence, returning the parties to their past single status, as if they never married. Annulments are most often sought by people who feel stigmatized by the status of being divorced, or for ease of remarriage in their particular religion. If there are children born of the marriage, an annulment may not be granted, and the marriage can only be dissolved by divorce.
