Cedartown, GA Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

In Louisiana you may be entitled to temporary spousal support while the divorce is pending and for up to six months thereafter. You may be entitled to receive child support for the support of the children, if you are awarded primary custody of the children. Louisiana is a "community property" state, meaning that you each share in both the assets and liabilities that were created during the marriage-which means you are responsible for the bills but share in all of the assets-including a share of your husband's retirement, if earned during the time you were married. The fact that you have not worked in ten years, if by the agreement of your husband, may make you qualified for a more permanent spousal support. Permanent spousal support is based upon your being in "necessitous circumstances," and is limited to the amount that it would take for you to be able to make a bare living.

Provided you have lived in Georgia for at least six months, you can obtain a divorce with service by publication.  Property, custody, or support issues would not be adjudicated but the divorce would occur.
