Mississippi divorce - child custody.


Joint or sole child custody is awarded based on the best interests of the child. There are no specific factors for consideration in the statute. The court may award:
 
(1) joint physical and Legal custody to 1 or both parents; (2) physical custody to both parents and Legal custody to 1 parent; (3) Legal custody to both parents and physical custody to 1 parent; or (4) custody to a third party if the parents have abandoned the child or are unfit.
 
If irreconcilable differences are the grounds for divorce, joint custody may be awarded if both parents apply for joint custody. If both parents apply for joint custody, there is a presumption that joint custody is in the best interests of the child. Otherwise, either parent may apply for joint custody. If both parents are fit and the child is 12 or older, the child may choose the parent he or she wishes to live with. If child abuse is alleged by either parent, the court shall order an investigation by the Mississippi Department of Public Welfare. [Mississippi Code Annotated; Section 93, Chapters 5-23, 5-24, and 11-65].
