Methodology

Equitable distribution

Georgia divides marital property equitably based on case law authority rather than a specific statute. Courts have broad discretion to achieve a fair distribution considering all relevant circumstances.

Statutory Factors

The following factors are commonly evaluated under Georgia law:

1. Duration of the marriage
2. Income and liabilities of each spouse
3. Contributions to the marriage including homemaking
4. Future earning capacity
5. Tax consequences
6. Waste or dissipation of marital assets
7. Custodial needs
8. Any other factors for fairness

Georgia Property Division

Georgia follows equitable distribution based on case law authority. Unlike many states, Georgia lacks a specific equitable distribution statute, relying instead on judicial precedent. Courts divide marital property equitably, considering the length of the marriage, each spouse's contribution and future needs, and other equitable circumstances. Separate property remains with its owner.
