COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE WITH MINOR CHILDREN
This is the form packet for people who want to file their own divorce in Gwinnett County, and who have minor children together with their spouse. If you and your spouse do not have minor children together, you should not use this form packet. Instead, use the shorter and simpler version called Complaint for Divorce without Minor Children.
Before printing the following documents, you should review the Instructions for Complaint with Children.
Below are the documents you must file if the divorce action may be contested (that is, you do not have a signed Settlement Agreement).
