Mississippi Child Custody

Joint or sole Custody may be awarded in accordance with the best interests of the child. Typically, joint legal Custody gives both parents the right to participate in making decisions concerning the child's development and well being.

Mississippi Child Support GuideLines

Mississippi has adopted child support guidelines which apply in virtually every case, unless special circumstances are present. The child support calculation takes into consideration the gross income of both parties, and certain child related expenses. Child support will continue until the child reaches the age of majority, and may be extended through his or her secondary education. Generally, a nonCustodyial parent can expect to pay approximately 14% of his or her adjusted gross income as support for one child. That amount increases to 24% for four children.

Mediation

As is true in most states, mediation is becoming an often used method of resolving disputed issues. The parties may agree to submit their disputed issues to mediation at any time, before or after a divorce is started. If an agreement is reached, the parties can proceed in court on an uncontested basis.
