Georgia At-Fault Divorce For Mental Incapacity

In the State of Georgia, individuals can petition for at-fault divorce from their spouse on the grounds of mental incapacity at the time of marriage. This means that one or both parties were not capable of consenting to marriage when it took place. Mental incapacity is broadly defined, including mental illness, intoxication, being under a court-appointed guardianship, and much more. In many cases, filing for at-fault divorce can be preferable to no-fault, because successful at-fault rulings are often more favorable for the petitioner. Each divorce case is unique, and a knowledgeable divorce attorney can help you make an educated decision about how best to proceed.
