That’s why we are committed to providing you with exceptional legal guidance every step of the way so that you can walk away from your marriage feeling optimistic about the future.

No-Fault Divorce in Mississippi

While Mississippi recognizes several grounds for pursuing a divorce, the state also allows spouses to file for a no-fault divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. After a 60-day waiting period, a judge can grant a no-fault divorce if the spouses agree that they wish to have a divorce. The spouses can document their intentions in a property settlement agreement, which may include important terms regarding child support, child custody, maintenance, alimony, and the division of marital assets. Even when a couple seeks a no-fault divorce, the details may become difficult when it comes to the division of their marital assets, such as marital retirement, savings, and other marital property. That’s when the help of a skilled Mississippi divorce attorney can be invaluable.
