Surprisingly, the Georgia Domestic Relations Code says very little about division of marital property.
The Code provides only one sentence, "The verdict of the jury disposing of the property in a divorce case shall be carried into effect by the court by entering such judgment or decree or taking such other steps as are usual in the exercise of the court's equitable powers to execute effectually and fully the jury's verdict."
The Code tells us nothing about how or on what basis marital property is to be divided.

If agreement cannot be reached the judge will follow a two step process for determining custody of the children.
First, if any of the children are 14 years of ago or older they can choose their own physical custody arrangement.
Their choice will be adopted by the court unless the court decides that it is not in their best interest.
The court will usually need a strong, clear reason for not adopting the choice of a child 14 or more years old.
The love, affection, bonding, and emotional ties existing between each parent and the child.
