ok i just contained more information of my husbands infidelity, i have proof, pictures, text messages, call history, everything, and he's threatening me with divorce since ive spoken with his 1st ssg about it, being that at the moment i have no job, no money or means of transportation, is there a way i could maybe file for divorce before he does? and does it matter who files first?? and we also dont share anything, no children im not on the lease, no accounts, so once the divorce is filed for, would they even give us a court date? and would i be able to present my information and be able to get spousal support, because i gave up everything to be married to him my job, my car and school. i also live in the state of Ga and we've only been married for 4 going on 5 months

It doesn't matter who files first. I am not sure if GA is a no fault state or not. If one contests the divorice you can show cause.

Being you've been married only 5 months I am doubting you will be able to gain spousal support. There has to be a 50% difference in income. So when you show last years tax return you are both single. Being it was such a short marriage I am doubtful.

You might be able to gain some of his assets.

First, you have internet access so google divorce law in Georgia for information then contact an attorney. Most will give you a free consultation.

I cant imagine why you would give up a job, car and school to marry someone unless they have tons of money. For what little you have invested in a 4-5 month marriage I dont think it would be to your advantage to begin a court battle on infidelity charges. As you stated, you have no joint assests and you have not been married long enough for alimony. Cut your losses, quick divorce, get a job and go back to school.

This sounds right to me.

Everyone makes sacrifices when they get married, and although I don't condone what he did as cheating is one of the cruelest things you can do to someone you "love", it still doesn't give you the right to his hard earned income. The government already takes 50% of what he earns, and because things didn't work out with your marriage doesn't give you the moral right to take his money in the future.

This makes me sick inside.

I think that before a marriage license is issued the couple must pass a test on the state's divorce laws.

Divorce rules and laws completely vary by state.

Maybe the government has no business dictating or governing what people do with their personal lives, including marriage and divorce.

They should be spiritual and personal issues that should be resolved outside of the legal system. This is not something that any government has any right to manage, tax, license, or govern. It is none of the government's business.
