valley,
In all honesty, I really think you should proceed to Plan D. At least get it filed so it is "of record" in Michigan. You don't want to mess around with this until she "establishes residency" in GA, and then files her own petition in GA, which you will have to defend long distance.
See an attorney, and protect your children and your assets.

This is a very, very, very good point. Myrev is right.
You'll find yourself fighting a long distance divorce battle and likely custody fight unless you file first in your state. You can always withdraw a divorce petition, but you'll be at a huge disadvantage and will fight a very, very expensive divorce and custody battle if you let her file in GA.
File first. File on the grounds of abandonment.
Withdraw it if she comes back and recommits, but you won't regret filing first.

She moved away with the kids April 08. I contested it and got a lot more time with my kids. She's unhappy that I want to stay involved in their lives and don't settle for being an "every other weekend" dad.
Never going to happen.
