Here are the things you should consider when choosing a Hernando divorce attorney.

Skills & Expertise

When choosing a divorce attorney, the first thing that you need to consider is the skills and expertise. Choose an attorney who is skilled and has the right experience working in the same field. If you get to choose a wrong attorney, negotiating your divorce agreement on the right terms might become difficult for you.

Personal Style

If you are hiring an attorney to do more than just reviewing the paperwork of your divorce, you must choose the one you are comfortable talking to and sharing your story with. The attorney should also share the same philosophy as you have and you two should be on the same page regarding your divorce.

Affordability

Another major thing to consider when hiring a divorce attorney is the fact that how much you can pay them. If you are low on budget, you may have to choose an attorney who may be less experienced than the best ones. The good thing here is that the new lawyer has a reputation to build and they might be willing to give in more effort and put in more hard work than others. Keeping in mind your affordability is a very important consideration when choosing a divorce attorney.

It is very important to be realistic when choosing a divorce attorney. You should be clear about your goals. You should also understand that the sole purpose of a divorce attorney is to dissolve your assets and address the custody issues. While they may be kind enough to listen to your frustration and sadness, it is not their job. It is now up to you to use them in the best way for the money you are paying.

If you are facing a divorce and are looking for experienced and highly skilled Hernando divorce attorneys at affordable rates, Bosserman Law will never fail you.

Filing for divorce is a difficult decision for anyone and knowing which type of divorce to file for can be confusing. Here’s what you need to know about contested divorces as compared to non-contested divorces in Mississippi.

The Difference Between Contested and Non-contested Divorce

First, it’s important to understand what constitutes a non-contested divorce and a contested divorce. You may also hear non-contested divorces referred to as “no-faults” divorces. Couples who file for a non-contested divorce typically cite irreconcilable differences and agree on the major issues pertaining to the divorce.

A contested divorce is fault-based, meaning a legal reason is cited as the cause of the divorce. There are several fault grounds in Mississippi including adultery, cruel and inhuman treatment, insanity, and desertion for one year or longer.

Important Information about Contested Divorces

First, you or your spouse must have had residency in the state of Mississippi for six months or longer to file for either type of divorce. However, with contested divorces, whoever files for divorce must prove the fault they cited as the legal reason for divorce. The other spouse will respond to the fault grounds with an acceptance or denial.

As you might have surmised, contested divorces take longer than non-contested divorces as a general rule. A Final Judgment of Divorce can be made 60 days after the initial complaint is filed. However, with a contested divorce, the court will have to decide on many of the issues at hand, lengthening the process.

An experienced attorney is a key requirement to successfully navigating a contested divorce. At Bosserman Law, we understand the challenges of divorce and how to reach a favorable outcome. To discuss your case and how to proceed, contact us today at 662.890.9558 to set up a consultation.

Boy, that sure does sound fancy.

While I don’t recall ever seeing “conscious uncoupling” listed in Mississippi’s divorce laws, I suppose that if I think about what that term could mean, it’s really not that far removed from simply two parties coming to terms on a divorce agreement.

And that I can understand.

In the state of Mississippi, one party cannot be awarded a divorce hearing if the other party does not want the divorce and no cause exists. You either have to agree to the divorce or there must exist a cause such as adultery, irreconcilable differences or habitual cruelment.

Every divorce case that is filed in the state of Mississippi must declare the grounds in which the divorce is to be granted. The grounds for your divorce must be substantiated with evidence or with sworn testimony otherwise the court may dismiss the case.

When you are petitioning the court for a divorce, or agreeing to a divorce, it is vital that you completely understand the grounds and any potential legal repercussions. With my help, you’ll never be in the dark regarding your case.

If you and your partner have made the efforts you feel reasonable and appropriate to save your marriage and those efforts haven’t worked, contact me and the Bosserman Law team so that we can discuss your situation and determine how to best proceed in a manner that will best protect your assets and far more importantly, protect your access to your kids.

I promise, you won’t hear “conscious uncoupling” a single time during our meeting.
