There are thirteen grounds for divorce in Georgia. Twelve of the grounds are what are considered “fault” grounds. One ground is the so called “no fault” ground. The twelve fault grounds are as follows:
The so-called “no-fault” ground is the ground that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” In most divorce cases, the ground alleged for the divorce is the no-fault ground. This is so as one party need only testify that the marriage is irretrievably broken, and there is no hope for reconciliation. With the other grounds, sufficient proof must be presented in order to prove the ground. It is sometimes advisable to include a fault ground. An attorney should be consulted as to the ground or grounds to allege in divorce cases.
