Divorce cases make up a large part of what we do, and everyone at our firm knows from firsthand experience the toll they can take on families. Even though divorce is a part of our culture, we don't advocate it, and we don't like the idea of breaking up relationships. But we understand that, sometimes, people just need to be divorced, and they need compassionate people to give them advice.

The decision to proceed with divorce is obviously very, very personal, and it is sometimes wise to consult with one's pastor, family members, and/or a professional counselor when making the decision. We make referrals to trusted faith-based and secular counselors frequently. If you need one, please give us a call for a referral.
In a divorce involving children, issues relating to them are probably the most difficult to resolve. These issues include custody, support, and visitation, among others. There are two kinds of "custody" - physical and legal. Physical custody is the right of a parent to physically have a child with him or her.
Will I be forced to pay the other side's attorney's fees? Possibly, depending on the facts and type of your case. For example, in a contested divorce case, the question is whether the party requesting their fees has the ability to pay them without assistance.
In contrast, if a party is found in contempt of a judgment or order of the court, there may be a better chance the party will be ordered to pay the opposing party's fees, regardless of whether the opposing party's inability to pay is established.2. Does MS have "no-fault" divorce? It depends on what your definition of the phrase, "no fault" is.

Even though a Judgment of Divorce is final, problems might and frequently do continue. Post-judgment actions include requests for modifications, which are actions seeking to change something about the divorce Judgment, and actions for contempt, which seek to have the other party punished for failing to comply with the Judgment.
My divorce papers say I can't have someone spend the night at my house if we are unrelated by blood or marriage - that's just form language and has no legal effect, right? No, that is incorrect. A Mississippi Chancery Court Judge has the discretion to find a party in contempt for failing to comply with the court's Judgments and Orders.

Positive: Professionalism
Jeremy and his entire team treated me with incredible personal care, and they all handled my case with extreme professionalism. I cannot give him a better rating, or recommend him any higher! In a hard time, the McNinch Law Firm came through for me and made the best of my situation. I would never think of using another firm!

Mr. McNinch and his law firm are a really great group. As others have stated, I too was able to vent and discuss my legal concerns, without judgement. Mr. McNinch is very knowledgeable and was able to provide me with all possible scenarios given my situation. He and his firm are very valuable assets when you have legal needs.

This is going to be a long one, BUT there is a lot to be said! Divorce is humiliating, devastating, stressful and every other horrible word you could think to describe it! However, Jeremy, Ann Ragen, and Lori made me feel so comfortable when having to talk about the most personal details of my marriage. Jeremy was always honest with his opinions, always included me in decisions, and over TWO YEARS (yes two years) became so much more than a business transaction. I cried, I vented, we laughed, and he always had time for me. I know how busy he was, but I truly felt like I was his only client.

Jeremy and his team are professional, compassionate, and well-versed in knowledge of the law. However, what makes him and his firm unique is that he understands the human experience, he is caring and thoughtful, and he always listens to his client. I appreciated being included in the decision-making process during a very difficult time, and I will always be grateful for Jeremy's sense of humor and his respect for and caring nature towards me as a person. I wouldn't think of going to any other firm in Mississippi!
