Questions we hear

Does Mississippi have no fault divorce?

Only by agreement. Irreconcilable differences requires both spouses to consent, so contested cases proceed on fault grounds.

How is property divided?

Mississippi uses equitable distribution, which means a fair division based on contribution and need rather than an automatic split.
