Petition For Divorce Georgia: Fill & Download for Free

My narc wants 50-50 custody of my daughter. She has no emotional connection with her. How do I best beat her in trial? Are there tests that can be taken to show they have personality disorder?A2A. Thank you, Justin.In principle, I am opposed to joint custody arrangements. They’re too disruptive to the lives of the children unless a) the family is rich enough to support 3 residences (one for each parent and the marital residence for the children), b) both parents have stable jobs and are not likely to move during the minority of the children, and c) the parents get along well enough to switch off occupation of the marital residence every week. These three elements are rarely present in the best of divorce cases. They are never present in a divorce case with a pwNPD or any other Cluster B personality disorder.That said, I would strongly resist joint custody in most cases. Joint custody favors the deadbeat parent who doesn’t want to pay child support, doesn’t want to be responsible for the children, but wants the right to see the children whenever they so choose, no matter how disruptive their demands to “see their children” might be. In Georgia, at least, Courts are required to entertain petitions for joint custody, and Courts often grant them just to avoid the custody battle in Court, but these arrangements seldom work well for either the children or the responsible parent. They favor the deadbeat parent.As for “proving” a personality disorder in Court, it’s nearly impossible. Judges aren’t equipped to make such diagnoses, but some of them do. Usually, it’s the distraught neurotypical person who looks crazy in Court while the calm, collected, charming, and seductive Cluster B-disordered parent appears more stable and responsible. It’s possible for the Court to order a psychological evaluation (usually of both parents), but the Cluster B parent will lie during the evaluation and, usually, will fool the evaluator into issuing a clean bill of mental health. The neurotypical parent is probably suffering from PTSD, at the very least. Because the neurotypical parent is likely to be honest with the evaluator, various neurological disturbances are likely to be noted in the evaluation and reported to the Court. In other words, a psychological evaluation is more likely to favor the Cluster B-disordered parent in Court.Present criminal records and evidence of criminal activity, if you can. Provide evidence of abuse or neglect of the children, if you have it. Provide evidence of infidelity, if you have it, but avoid discussion of a possible personality disorder unless it has been diagnosed and you have an expert that you can pay to testify to the diagnosis. Not only is it nearly impossible to prove a personality disorder, arguing that your spouse suffers from a personality disorder can backfire.Strength and honor. Love and light.

My answer cannot be perceived as legal advice, and you should be consulting with a family law attorney in Georgia.You say “soon to be ex-husband” but you also say “after separation”, so that suggests that you are contemplating divorce but have not yet filed. More importantly, that suggests that he has not yet been served. If that is the case, a separation (unless it is spelled out in a legal separation document) doesn’t change the marital status and he would have just as much access to the marital residence as you do.Even if he had to force entry, he would still, at this point, have every legal right to access the marital property and anything inside unless there is some court order excluding him from that access. Therefore, it would not be a criminal matter, unless, for example the home was yours prior to the marriage, or it was rented and the lease is only in your name. Then, it could be a criminal matter, but the police are often reticent to get involved in what is perceived to be a civil matter (divorce and property division).Georgia is not a “community property” State. It is a “marital property” State. This means that property is not considered to be equally owned by both parties, even though they are married, unless acquired jointly during the marriage. Any property owned by either party prior to marriage is that person’s individual property. This includes any vehicles, financial accounts, investments, and other personal property, unless such things have been re-titled as joint property.It should be noted that property ownership and division, beyond what I’ve sketched out, is not statutorily outlined in Georgia law, but rather is based on current precedent (case law). You said “soon to be ex-husband”, which leads me to believe that you are married, so, in that case, the ring belongs to you, since the three-prong requirement has been met:the giver must have meant to give itthe recipient must accept itand the gift itself must be delivered.However, in Georgia, the engagement ring is also conditional upon the marriage also taking place. Once the marriage takes place, the ring is the property of the recipient. If the marriage had not taken place, the “giver” still owns the ring. Since you indicate “soon to be ex-husband”, I’d have to presume a marriage took place, and therefore, the ring is your personal property.Where you get into an interesting area is that, in Georgia, once the petition for dissolution of marriage (divorce) is filed, (and served), property ownership cannot be transferred, even from one party to the other, unless it is to satisfy an existing joint debt. In this case, the “ex-husband” has essentially transferred ownership of the ring (and other property) to himself.Again, it would be best for you to consult a family law attorney. I assure you that the police will simply tell you that this is a civil matter to be hashed out in the Superior Court in your County.

You need to speak to a lawyer. You can get the new name, easily, but I don't know if it will be part of the divorce, or if it will have to be a separate petition to the courts. I had a name change in Georgia as part of marriage, but not conducted via marriage certificate, and it was easy. Internet advice is worth what you are paying for it, which is nothing, so contact a lawyer.
