If someone is wombo comboing someone in their own home, you can record it. It's completely justified.

This is not always true. In some states (I don't know about Georgia) you must have BOTH parties consent to recording to record them and later use it as evidence of anything.

Just fucking record it. Stores use security cameras all the time without posting signs. And do you really think that if someone beat the shit out of someone and there was video evidence it would get thrown out, because the abuser didn't consent?

It depends on the state. It is never legal to record a conversation if nobody involved in the conversation has given informed consent. In so-called "one-party states", it is legal to record if at least one of the parties has given informed consent, while in "two-party states", all parties (which may be more than two) must give informed consent. Some two-party states allow exceptions in specific cases, but even then at least one party must still give informed consent.

We are not lawyers, but at least from my two minutes on Google, Georgia appears to be a one-party state. Given this, you should be good to go, provided that you get informed consent from at least one party to the abuse. Of course, if you are actually a party to the abuse (as the abuser or the victim), then you can count yourself as the party that has given consent.

Some two-party states, such as California, carve out some narrow exceptions to the two-party rule. One of the most common exceptions is for criminal activity: if you record someone breaking the law, in many jurisdictions you don't have to get that person's consent. But these exceptions are narrow and can be quite fiddly, and these things DO get thrown out of court sometimes.
