Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Mississippi

Re: help with dovorce

You will need to file for divorce based on your husband's desertion from the marital relationship or some other fault-based grounds such as adultery if it can be proven. However, dissertion is a difficult case to make when the husband and wife continue to reside under the same roof. So long as they reside under the same roof, the court will presume they are having marital relations. If you husband admits to somebody (your witness) that he has not abandoned marital relations with you for at least the last year, that may be sufficient to obtain a divorce. Otherwise, you will have to prove desertion by circumstantial evidence. You should talk with an attorney and possibly arrange for marital counseling that might persuade your husband to agree to a divorce.
