Georgia is an equitable division state. That means that the assets (and debts) accumulated during the marriage will be divided in a way that is fair under the unique circumstances of your family. Equitable division does not mean that all the marital assets will be divided in half, but besides unusual circumstances, courts will usually divide the assets equally.
Keep in mind that if you have pension plans, including 401(k) retirement accounts, there is a special document that must be signed by the court to be able to divide the account balances without any tax consequences or penalties. That document is called a Qualified Domestic Relations Order, or QDRO. Some retirement plans cannot be divided, such as state or county pensions, including Georgia Teacher Retirement System pensions. If the couple has a retirement plan that can be divided, there are other creative ways to equitably divide those retirement funds.
Many times, one spouse will have been awarded a stock option by his or her employer. Typically, stock options can not be transferred to the other spouse. If stock options are an issue in your financial picture, make sure you let your attorney know so the attorney can get all of the appropriate documents to make sure that the potentially substantial asset of stock options can be properly considered and divided.
