Divorce And Property Division

Summary

In Georgia, marital property is divided equitably, not necessarily equally. An RV purchased during the marriage may be considered marital property, potentially entitling you to a share of its value. Since the first RV was purchased before marriage, it is likely considered separate property. Consulting a lawyer for personalized advice is recommended to understand your rights and options.

Hi Renee! What legal issue are you dealing with today?
Potential divorce
Hey Renee! Divorce can be a tough process. Do you and your spouse have any children together, or are there any significant assets involved? That information can help me provide more specific guidance.
No we have no children together and we have no significant assets.
In Georgia, an uncontested divorce can be relatively straightforward, especially without children or significant assets. Here are some general steps:
- File a divorce petition in your county's Superior Court.
- Serve your spouse with divorce papers.
- Wait for a *-day response period.
- Attend a final hearing for the judge’s approval.
Would you like more information on any specific step?
We live in an RV that he purchased before we were married. We own nothing together but he has significant debt. I own no property. He also owns another RV he purchased while we were married. Am I entitled to one of the RV’s?
