Answer:
In Georgia there are 13 grounds for divorce. One ground is “irretrievable
broken" (also known as the "no-fault" ground) which has become the most
common (and least contentious) ground for divorce. The remaining 12
grounds for divorce are considered the "fault" grounds.
To obtain a "no-fault" divorce (irretrievable broken), one party must simply
prove that, to them, the marriage is over. This can be proven through
sworn testimony of one party, even if none of the "fault" grounds exist.
