MISSISSIPPI Part 8

If you and your co-parent cannot come to an agreement on a child custody arrangement the Mississippi child custody laws and courts will determine your child custody arrangement. Mississippi child custody laws and courts always uphold the best interest of the child above all else when determining custody. A number of factors are looked at by the court to help them in determining the best interest of the child. Some of these factors include the following.

    The ability of each co-parent to care for the child both physically and financially.
    The mental and physical health of both the co-parents and the child.
    The strength of the relationship between each co-parent and the child.
    The preference of the child depending on their age and their maturity level as it is observed by the court.
    The willingness of each co-parent to encourage and facilitate a continuing and strong relationship between the child and the other co-parent.
