A married couple's shared assets must be divided ?equitably? in a Mississippi divorce. However, the assets are not usually divided in a 50/50 split. Instead, the courts will fairly divide the assets while accounting for each spouse's needs, their standard of living before the divorce, and other factors.

While Mississippi does not technically have anything called ?legal separation?, you still have many options to establish a set of rules during this difficult time either through a formal or informal agreement or through a court order.

So long as both parties agree, they can file. Alternatively, a spouse may file a fault-based divorce, citing a specific reason they seek to terminate the marriage (i.e. adultery, abuse). Spouses do not need to be legally separated for any duration of time in order to file for divorce.

No, you cannot. Many people believe that once they have separated from their spouse, they are legally free to pursue other relationships.

Mississippi divorce records are generally maintained by the chancery clerk in the county where the divorce was granted. In the state of Mississippi, these records are public information and can be obtained by interested members of the public upon request.
