Marital Conduct Impacts Award of Alimony But Not Amount
GA divorce law provides that a trier of fact (i.e, the judge or jury) may consider the parties’ conduct during the marriage in deciding whether to award alimony, but evidence of the conduct is not admissible in determing the amount of the alimony awarded. See O.C.G.A. 19-6-1(c). Always consult with an attorney if you are considering a divorce. An experienced attorney can advise you on your rights and whether you can collect alimony or might end up paying it.
