DIVORCE

In instances of divorce it is important that you are represented by an attorney who can, and will, take the time to ensure any issue arising during your divorce is addressed in a manner that avoids future complications and disputes. A prime example of such an issue is child visitation.

In a divorce where child visitation is involved, you need an attorney who will advise you regarding the best visitation schedule for you and your child(ren). Additionally, you need an attorney who is familiar with the statutory child support requirements, addresses the cost of the child(ren)'s extracurricular activities, includes provisions for income tax deductions, and any other issue relating to the support and care of the child(ren). Lastly, you need an attorney who can, and will, address any other issue which arises during your divorce. This includes, but is not limited to, the division of property and debt. The attorneys at Garrett, Friday & Garner have experience representing clients in divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences (commonly known as no-fault divorces) and divorces involving contested grounds including adultery, domestic violence, and cruel and inhumane treatment.

WHEN YOU NEED TO FILE AN APPEAL

Unfortunately, everyone makes mistakes, even Judges. Thus, many people leave court knowing that the Judge did not rule correctly in their case.

Appeals must be filed within thirty (30) days of the date when the Chancery Court enters the final order or decree. Garrett, Friday & Garner has experience filing and pursuing appeals before the Mississippi Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Mississippi.
