Some divorcing spouses believe that because Georgia is an “equitable division” state for divorce that each spouse will split martial assets 50/50%. However, that is not case. Equitable means “fair” and the court in Georgia divorce cases will decide what is fair by the facts and circumstances of each particular case. Georgia differs from such states as California, which takes a “community property” view. Such stars as Kobe Bryant and Katy Perry are currently going through divorce in California.
