Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the divorce process usually take?
It depends on your specific situation. Uncontested divorces may be finalized in as little as 60 days, while contested cases can take several months or longer. We’ll guide you through the timeline and keep things moving as smoothly as possible.
What happens if we can’t agree on custody?
What’s the difference between legal custody and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions for the child (like education or medical care), while physical custody is about where the child lives. In many cases, parents share both types—called joint custody.
Can my child choose which parent they want to live with?
In Mississippi, a child 12 or older may express a preference, but the final decision is always based on what’s in the child’s best interest. Judges consider several factors before making a custody determination.
