You can file for divorce whether she wants it or not. Whether it will be contested or not is up to the two of you. Consult with a local attorney.

You can

So long as you and/or your spouse have lived at least a minimum of six months here as residents in Georgia, you should be able to file for divorce, whether your spouse wants a divorce or not. From the information you have given, it appears that it probably will be a contested divorce. Please feel free to contact me or another attorney for a consultation.

In responding to your question in this matter, the Firm is not expressing an opinion on whether you will ultimately prevail if legal action is pursued. You should not refrain from seeking legal assistance from another firm if you desire another opinion. Because time is always important, and could be critically short in your case, you may wish to seek another opinion as soon as possible.

You will encounter bumps along the way in a action like yours where custody and support issues are unavoidable. Therefore, your best action is to retain an attorney to file your action and represent your interests. You may call my firm in the event that you desire additional information.
