Georgia is an
equitable
distribution state.
This means that any
property the parties
acquired during the
marriage (regardless
of the name is
listed on the title)
the property will be
divided fairly at
the divorce. In an
equitable
distribution state,
the marital assets
and debts are
distributed
equitably, but not
necessarily equally.
Separate property is
what each person had
before getting
married, and marital
property is what one
person acquired
during the marriage.
