In Georgia, a divorcing parent can request a jury trial to decide financial matters like property division, alimony and child support. Jury trials are rare.If there is no need for your case to appear in Court, then your case will not need a hearing or trial, let alone a jury trial. You can file a petition for child custody in your county's Superior Court. If you are divorcing, the petition will be included in your divorce papers. Only a judge can decide a custody matter so there can never be a jury trial on custody. However, Georgia jury trials may only be granted in divorce matters where issues such as equitable division, alimony and child support are to be determined. There's no Federal constitutional right to a jury trial in family law cases. Provide the class of court and county in which the case is being disposed. 2. Provide the plaintiff's and defendant's names.
