DIVORCE CHEAT SHEET

This is not an all-encompassing list of all the things you would need to do to have a divorce, even in Georgia. This list is just to give you an idea of the many things that are often requested by courts for you to provide when filing for divorce. Different situations require different filings (like whether or not you have kids, or multiple properties, or inheritance), but this can help give you a broad idea of how you can streamline your divorce, or help your attorney if you want to keep expenses down.
