Mississippi Divorce Laws You Need to Know

Familiarizing yourself with Mississippi divorce laws ensures that you meet all requirements before you start the filing process. To file for divorce in Mississippi, at least one party must have been a resident of the state for at least six months prior to the filing.

There are two types of divorce in Mississippi: fault and no-fault. Fault divorces are reserved for when one party’s provable actions have caused the end of the marriage. Fault divorces are granted for adultery, imprisonment, abandonment, cruel and inhumane treatment, impotency, and alcohol and drug abuse in Mississippi. A no-fault divorce tends to be much faster, as it does not require anyone to prove the other party’s wrongdoing. If you file for a fault divorce, there is no waiting period after you file. If you file for a no-fault divorce, there is a 60-day waiting period.

Even if there is no waiting period or just a 60-day waiting period, be aware that it often takes longer than that. A lot depends on whether or not the court is backed up and how quickly you and your spouse can agree on the terms of your divorce.

Like most other states, Mississippi is an equitable distribution state. Marital assets are divided in a way that is fair, not in a way that necessarily gives both parties equal assets.
