E-filing Divorce Cases in Georgia

In January 2019, e-filing became mandatory for attorneys in Georgia. However, e-filing is not mandatory for people who don't have attorneys, also called pro se. Pro se filers have the option to either e-file or to print their documents and file them in person or by mail with the Court Clerk's office. With e-filing, the filer uploads PDFs of their legal documents to the e-filing system using a phone or computer.
