Grounds for Divorce In Mississippi
Mississippi recognizes the no-fault grounds of irreconcilable differences.
The following are some of the fault grounds:
- adultery;
- impotence;
- alcoholism/Substance abuse;
- cruel and inhuman treatment;
- willful desertion for one year.
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.
Child Support
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 noncustodial 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.
