12 Strangers and Your Divorce: The Truth About Georgia Jury Trials
Can you really have a jury trial in a Georgia divorce? Yes — but only in very specific circumstances. And it’s one of the rarest legal options in the country.
In this episode of Lawyers Without Billboards, the Shewmaker & Lewis team pulls back the curtain on how jury trials work in Georgia family law — from what juries can decide (and what they can’t) to why you might want one… or why it could be the most expensive popularity contest you’ve ever entered.
With humor, candid stories, and hard-won insights, Steve, Patty, Jimmy, and Alexa cover:
- Why Georgia is one of only two states that allow jury trials in divorce cases
- The types of issues juries can decide (hint: not custody)
- Strategic reasons lawyers request juries — and when it’s a bad idea
- How jury selection works (and why you might end up with a Hollywood stuntman deciding your financial future)
- The cost, delays, and risks you need to weigh before rolling the dice
