- Spousal SupportThe legal process involved in a separate maintenance action is very similar to a divorce in Georgia. All issues such a property division, child support, alimony, and custody will be decided in a separate maintenance action as well, but not to the degree of finality. However, an important difference between a separate maintenance action and a divorce in Georgia is that there is no residency requirement to file the former.
- Legal SeparationA husband and wife may decide to remain legally married and not officially dissolve their marriage for a number of reasons. Couples that want an alternative to divorce often decide to legally separate (i.e. Referred to as Separate Maintenance in Georgia). Couples should thoroughly consider all options because oftentimes legal separation is a serious step towards divorce.
- AnnulmentAn annulment is available when a marriage is invalid from its inception. Generally, these marriages are between persons unable to contract, unwilling to contract, or fraudulently induced to contract. Accordingly, where marriage is invalid because of fraud, duress or non-age and a child is born or is to be born as a result of the union, an annulment is not an option. Accordingly, it is important that one speaks with an annulment attorney to determine the eligibility of this legal remedy
- Estate PlanningAn advanced health care directive is one of the most important documents for estate planning. Having an advanced health care directive can spare loved ones from additional stress, emotional grief and money. An advanced health care directive voices the intention of an incapacitated person who is unable to verbally communicate those intentions at a given moment but previously executed said document for such circumstance. An advanced health care directive is utilized when a person is no longer able to make important decisions about his or her medical care. It lends insight into what the incapacitated person would decide under certain circumstances and includes a living will and the appointment of a health care agent to make medical decisions.
