The defendant must be given formal notice after filing. This is service of process, and as a rule you are not permitted to serve the papers yourself. Georgia courts usually take delivery by delivery arranged by the court or email service where the court allows it.

Each court sets how far before the hearing the defendant must be served. The clerk confirms your deadline when the hearing date is set. Some counties require sheriff to attempt service first before private process server.
Whoever serves the papers completes a proof of service, which is filed with the court before the hearing.
