- Child SupportGet in touch with our firm to discuss how we may be able to help you earn a favorable outcome in your child support case.
- Child Custody and VisitationNothing is more important to us than children. Our lawyers want to fight for your children’s best interests. Child custody is divided into two categories: physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody concerns the time period the child resides with or is under the care of one of the parents. Legal custody concerns the decision-making rights related to a child’s education, health, and welfare.
- AdoptionThe termination of one parent’s parental rights does not terminate the other parent’s rights. As such, one of the most common adoption situations is step-parent adoptions. If you are a step-parent and want to adopt, the parental rights of the biological parent must first be terminated as outlined above.
- PaternityThe law has long recognized the duty of parents to provide support for their children. In Mississippi, child support may be ordered as a part of a divorce, annulment, separate maintenance proceeding, paternity proceedings, or via an independent action brought by an unmarried spouse.
- Spousal SupportMany divorcing couples simply do not have sufficient assets to achieve financial stability immediately following a divorce. Though not always possible, a primary goal of Mississippi’s equitable distribution system is to eliminate the need for alimony. When property distribution isn’t sufficient, alimony may be necessary. Mississippi recognizes several different types of alimony, each being equally available to men and women.
- AnnulmentDo you know the difference between a divorce and an annulment? When a divorce is granted, the marriage is terminated. When an annulment is granted, the marriage is treated as if it never existed. In Mississippi however, some of the statutory grounds for annulment overlap the grounds for divorce.
