The Courts That Hear Cases from Montgomery County
Court cases from Montgomery County are filed in the Montgomery County Superior Court, which hears felonies, divorces, land title cases and civil cases without a dollar limit.
The State Court and Magistrate Court take misdemeanors and traffic cases in the State Court where the county has one, otherwise in the Probate Court; small claims and warrants in the Magistrate Court.
A city with a municipal court of its own tries the tickets written under its ordinances.
Divorces go to the Superior Court, and the file stays with the Clerk of Superior Court.
The Clerk of Superior Court keeps the files, and a copy of anything in a file comes from that office, under the court's own rules rather than the Georgia Open Records Act.

The Kinds of Court Files
The court file is one record with several readers: a criminal case from the arrest to the sentence, a divorce from the petition to the judgment, a traffic ticket from the citation to the conviction the court reports to the Georgia Department of Driver Services, and an eviction or a lien on land.
The other Montgomery County guides take the kinds of file one at a time: Montgomery County criminal records, Montgomery County divorce records, Montgomery County traffic tickets, Montgomery County DUI and Montgomery County property records.
