In most states you have to be a resident for 6 months or a year. You file in the state you live in.

Doesn't matter where you were married. Only where you are a resident of.
Whatever county you're in now, skip on down to the courthouse and grab you some info.
If it's a simple divorce(uncontested, no property) you may be able to file for it yourself. Usually costs about $300-500.
If there's property or whatever, find an attorney.

File in Georgia... You file in the state you live in... If you got married in France 10 years and the marriage felled you don't have to get on a airplane to France to get a divorce. Get a lawyer in Atlanta and file, have the paper work sent to him to sign, he will send it back to your lawyer and your divorce will be granted in about two months start to finish...
There is no waiting period in the state of Ga, and I'm not sure if you have to live in Ga for six months or not.

Well typically you file in the state that you reside in. So since you now live in Georgia that is where you need to file.

Basically you file where you have met the residency requirements which is probably Atlanta if youve been there more than 6 months. Its his problem on how to get there for the court date, not yours unless he files somewhere first.

Most states have laws that you must reside there for the last six months to file there. You should check both states laws. If you may file in either, then file where it would be most beneficial for your particular situation, and which state has the easiest or quickest no fault divorce, but only if no fault is most beneficial to you.

You would file in the state you reside in at this time. Then the court would serve your soon to be ex with his papers in the state he lives in now.
