Compassionate Guidance When You Need it Most

Navigate Divorce Proceedings

Change can be overwhelming, but sometimes, it’s necessary. Filing for divorce could be the first step on the path toward the future you deserve. However, that doesn’t mean that the proceedings will be easy. Luckily, you don’t have to face them alone. Our divorce attorney will stand by your side every step of the way. If questions or concerns arise, we’ll be here to seek answers, provide reassurance, or simply offer a listening ear.

Create a Comprehensive Custody Agreement

There are two kinds of custody in the state of Mississippi: legal and physical custody. Legal custody gives a parent the right to make decisions regarding the child’s education, religious upbringing, and more. Physical custody refers to where the child actually lives. Both kinds of custody can be shared or solely held by either parent.

Ultimately, a custody arrangement is determined based on the best interests of the child. To determine what agreement will serve the child’s needs, a variety of factors will be considered, including:

  • Each parent’s relationship with the child

  • Each parent’s employment situation

  • Each parent’s age, physical abilities, and mental health

  • The child’s age and, in some cases, their preference

If you are facing the difficult process of arranging a custody agreement, let a legal professional show you the way forward. Reach out to us today to get started.

Finalize Your Adoption

Growing your family through adoption is a beautiful thing. Letting an attorney lead you through the legalities of this process can give you the chance to focus on the joy of welcoming a new family member into your home.

From the initial filing of the petition for adoption, to the acquisition of consent from the child’s biological parents, to the finalization of the adoption, we are prepared to stand by your side as you strive to expand your family.
