Frequently Asked Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in Mississippi?
Mississippi recognizes both fault and no-fault grounds for divorce. No-fault grounds include irreconcilable differences, while fault grounds include adultery, desertion, and habitual cruel treatment. A 60-day waiting period applies for no-fault divorces.
How is child custody determined in Mississippi?
Mississippi courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child. Factors include the childs age, the parents ability to provide care, and the childs home environment. The court may award joint or sole custody.
What is the process for child support in Mississippi?
Child support in Mississippi follows state guidelines based on the non-custodial parents income. For one child, support is typically 14% of adjusted gross income, with percentages increasing for additional children. Support continues until the child turns 21 or becomes emancipated.
