It sounds like you need an attorney who can act as an uninterested third party to facilitate your divorce. If she does not want to see you anymore, perhaps the two of you could have an uncontested divorce (meaning you agree to the division of your assets and debts). You can theoretically have an uncontested divorce with minimal, if any, direct contact between the parties.  To your specific question, you can have a divorce in Georgia if you cannot find the other spouse, but there are strict procedures for that and it not seen often.
