Understanding Equitable Property Division in Mississippi
In Mississippi, property is divided equitably or fairly. You do not necessarily have to receive an equal share of the property. The judge only looks to see that the property is divided in a fair or equitable manner. This means that the judge will not necessarily be concerned with whether or not the property is divided equally, but that the property is divided in a way that is fair or equitable.
In deciding how to divide property, the judge may consider the following factors:
- The duration of the marriage
- The age and health of each spouse
- The financial circumstances of each spouse
- Whether a spouse contributed to the acquisition of property
- Whether a spouse's conduct caused the divorce
The law in Mississippi does not provide guidance on how to divide property. This means that the judge has broad discretion in deciding how to divide the property. This means that you should seek the help of an experienced Jackson property division attorney to help you decide how to divide your property in a way that is fair and that protects your rights.

When I found myself needing a divorce lawyer, my first and only call was to Chinn & Associates. From the onset, Mark told me not to worry, he had my back. It is pretty much impossible for me to not worry, but Mark was correct, he had my back. He and his staff were always prepared and kept me informed of what I needed to know. Janeah was an angel with a big sword, especially during the mediation process, working passionately to get me the best possible result. Mark and Janeah guided me through one of the most difficult and uncomfortable periods of my life, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and support. While I hope I never need their services again, if I do find myself in this situation again Chinn & Associates will be my first choice for representation.Abbey M.

I highly recommend Mark. He brings decades of experience and highly credible counsel. He was a steady voice of reason during an emotional time for my family. He stays close to his clients and is quick to respond. I always knew he was "on it." He partnered with my family to the very end of what turned out to be a longer than expected process. The outcome was worth the wait. I can't recommend him highly enough.Anonymous
