In an uncontested divorce, a couple reaches an agreement on all key issues. They then present their agreement to the judge to sign off on. When a divorce is “contested,†it means the couple cannot agree on one or more of the following...
Child Support
Mississippi like other states has created support guidelines based on each parent’s income and the amount of time they will have the child. The guidelines also look at the number of children to be supported. If a child has extraordinary needs, such as medical care for a disability, a judge can award more child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
Going through a child custody or child visitation dispute can be emotionally challenging for everyone involved. Parents need to be able to protect their custody rights.
Spousal Support
Spousal support (alimony): In some divorce cases, the financially disadvantaged spouse receives ongoing spousal support (alimony). Spousal support awards are always determined on a case-by-case basis. The court will look at many different factors related to the marriage.
Legal Separation
Mediation is a great way to cooperate towards one goal, collaborative divorce can cut costs and maintain privacy, and legal separation helps you “test the waters†if a full divorce is too intimidating. We are ready to find you collaborative answers and we are also ready to work aggressively to protect your rights. You need to explore all of your available options.

Land Use and Zoning
Property Damage
Large trucks can weigh up to 20 times that of standard passenger cars. As such, when the two vehicles collide, the passenger car may be completely totaled. This is a huge economic expense due to property damage and loss. But it is also likely that the driver and passengers of the passenger car will suffer severe harm. Injuries could be permanently disabling.

Wills
The law does not require the administrator to hire an attorney. However, there are many circumstances in which the advice of counsel is useful. For instance, an attorney can deal with thorny issues such as will contests or difficulty accessing estate property.
Trusts
If your loved one transferred property to a revocable or irrevocable trust, that property also would not be part of the probate estate. Indeed, avoiding probate is the reason some of our clients choose to engage in estate planning during their lifetime.
