Quoting%20commentary for Gittin 8:2

אָמַר לָהּ, כִּנְסִי שְׁטָר חוֹב זֶה, אוֹ שֶׁמְּצָאָתוֹ מֵאֲחוֹרָיו, קוֹרְאָה וַהֲרֵי הוּא גִטָּהּ, אֵינוֹ גֵט, עַד שֶׁיֹּאמַר לָהּ, הֵא גִטֵּךְ. נָתַן בְּיָדָהּ וְהִיא יְשֵׁנָה, נֵעוֹרָה, קוֹרְאָה וַהֲרֵי הוּא גִטָּהּ, אֵינוֹ גֵט, עַד שֶׁיֹּאמַר לָהּ הֵא זֶה גִטֵּךְ. הָיְתָה עוֹמֶדֶת בִּרְשׁוּת הָרַבִּים וּזְרָקוֹ לָהּ, קָרוֹב לָהּ, מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. קָרוֹב לוֹ, אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. מֶחֱצָה עַל מֶחֱצָה, מְגֹרֶשֶׁת וְאֵינָהּ מְגֹרָשֶׁת:

If he said to her: "Gather in this bill of debt," or if she found it behind him, [If the get were on his back, and he arched his back to her so that she should take it] — if she read it and it were her get, it is not a get until he says to her: "This is your get." [If he tells her "Take your get," however, it is a get. But if the get were on the ground, or on his back, or on his body, and he did not arch his back or project his body towards her so that she should take it, even if he said to her: "Take your get," it is not a get.] If he placed it in her hand while she were sleeping, and when she awoke, she read it and found it to be her get, it is not a get, until he says to her: "This is your get." If she were standing in the public domain and he threw it to her — if it were near her, she is divorced; if it were near him, she is not divorced; if it were "half and half," she is divorced and not divorced. [Whatever she can guard and he cannot guard is called "near her." Whatever she cannot guard and he can guard is called "near him." If both can guard it, or if both cannot guard it, this is called "half and half." As for the halachah, she is not divorced until the get enters her hand or her domain.]
